I want to remove the welcome word in my drupal can anyone help me..!!
This is what i mean :
Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website. This message will guide you through your first steps with Drupal, and will disappear once you have posted your first piece of content.
The first thing you will need to do is create the first account. This account will have full administration rights and will allow you to configure your website. Once logged in, you can visit the administration section and set up your site's configuration.
Drupal comes with various modules, each of which contains a specific piece of functionality. You should visit the module list and enable those modules which suit your website's needs.
Themes handle the presentation of your website. You can use one of the existing themes, modify them or create your own from scratch.
We suggest you look around the administration section and explore the various options Drupal offers you. For more information, you can refer to the Drupal handbook online.

Comments

only when promoted
The welcome text will only disappear when you publish a node, and set the publishing options to 'promoted to front page'. If you don't want to do that, you may want to try front_page.module.
Or you can change the start
Or you can change the start page from "node" to something else, no need for front_page module here...

wow. I installed flexinode
wow. I installed flexinode and members module. Afterwhich, my front page of posted content (to front page) now displays "Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website. " I love drupal, but this is rather annoying as anonymous users see that as the home page and not the regular posts, already defined to be promoted to front page.
I have removed the two modules, to no avail. Then i put them back because it didnt fix it. The authenticated members see the normal homepage, after logging in.
Default front page: nodeClean URLs: disabled (enabling is not a choice)
Any suggestions? http://gt.zqlabs.com
front.page_module
As said, you can use the front.page_module which has a option to show all users the same front page.
yay ~ node access issue
FOUND the fix! yay
(ty slazenger) Node access issue
http://drupal.org/node/59328
Normally, I would remove a module by deselecting it in the modules page, then deleting it via ftp, and manually drop the associated tables. Instead, this 'organic group' module must be explicitly 'disabled' prior to removal.
CSS Welcome Fix
/*Use CSS*/
#first-time { width:0; height:0; visibility:hidden; overflow:hidden; }
Not all chemicals are bad, H20 for instance is a vital ingredient in beer.
Quick and dirty way
If you do not want to use the frontpage module or do not want to publish a node on front age,
in your page.tpl.php file, find the line
print $contentand surround it with<?php if (!$is_front){print $content;
} ?>
As I said, quick and dirty way...
drupal-6.14\modules\node\node.module
In "drupal-6.14\modules\node\node.module"
go to line 1762 and comment out the else statement from 1762 up to and including 1774
note: I have removed several lines of code just to give you a 'picture' of what the comment should be.
alternatively you can remove all lines of code from 1762 up to and including 1774 if you do not want to ever see the Welcome.
From my opinion, this is the best solution to the problem.
# else {# $default_message = t('<h1 class="title">Welcome to your new Drupal website!</h1><p....
# $default_message .= '<ol>';
#
# $default_message .= '<li>'. t('<strong>Configure your website</strong....
# $default_message .= '<li>'. t('<strong>Enable additional functionality....
# $default_message .= '<li>'. t('<strong>Customize your website design....
# $default_message .= '<li>'. t('<strong>Start posting content</strong> ....
# $default_message .= '</ol>';
# $default_message .= '<p>'. t('For more information, please refer to the ....
#
# $output = '<div id="first-time">'. $default_message .'</div>';
# }
Great Solution
This is really a great solution. It worked for me very fine. Thanks a lot

not really-- hacking core files creates a fork that must be maintained ad infinitum. Though it works, never a 'great' solution, lol.

I'd prefer a flag
Rather than hack core, I'd prefer to have --in core-- a flag I can change (maybe in site information) that disables the default homepage text.
There are modules these days that can publish content to the homepage and that default text still shows up.

I'm not positive, but i believe this might have already been addressed in d7.

Don't hack, use Unwelcome module
Hacks of the core were never a good idea because they will be wiped with the next update, or you have to keep track of those and merge with the newer version of the core.
Unwelcome module allows you to do the same but clean way, without any kind of hacks. Download-enable and that's it!
