Hey everyone :)

When viewing a taxonomy page, each node has title, teaser, comment link & category.

How can I remove all of those so that just the page title displays? To me, this would be a much cleaner way of displaying the nodes in a taxonomy category

All help is appreciated!

You should use the Views module if you want anything other than the default display. This will allow you to display only the title, or any other combination of node information you choose.

hey adam
thanks for the tip. the views module has so many options, can you recommend how to configure this when clicking on taxonomy view in the primary links?

Yes, it's a complex module - but it's worth persevering because it can do so much.

Try this documentation to start with: http://drupal.org/node/54432

Briefly, I suspect you'd want to:

  • add a new view, of type Node (the default)
  • add a Field:
    • select Node: Title
    • tick the "Link this field to its node" option
  • add a Filter:
    • select Group: Taxonomy and then Taxonomy: Term
    • select the vocabulary you want, then the specific term(s)
    • you may want additional Filters, eg to display only published nodes
  • add Sort Criteria if you want:
    • select a criterion, eg Node: Posted
    • choose Ascending or Descending, and Granularity

To use this on the front page:

  • add a display of type: Page
    • under Basic Settings, say how many nodes you want to display, etc
    • under Page Settings, give it a path
  • save and test the view
  • go to the Site Information admin page (/admin/settings/site-information)
    • scroll down to Default Front Page
    • enter the path which you gave the view above

Your view should now be the front page.
