How do I create static html pages
frazras - April 4, 2006 - 14:08
I want to create my own static Html pages and then incorporate them into drupal but all I can do now is use the "create pages " operation which leaves a "Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2006-04-04 13:39." and a header link at the top of the pages, however I want to have the freedom of creating a full html page then linking it to something, like e.g. the front-"home" page of my website
simple
If you want to remove the submitted-by date, see the FAQ.
If you truly want static (non-dynamic) pages go ahead and make them anywhere in your webroot and link to them directly.
Of course, if you want to build a website with static pages you should be using a different tool, like Dreamweaver or something.

Create your own static Html
Create your own static Html pages, put them in a dedicated folder on your Drupal installation (.../drupal_site/static/ for example, or even in files/). Your static HTML pages can link to your Drupal site with absolute links (http://my_drupal_site/etc ), or maybe they can link to the Drupal site with relative URL like node/43 if you include a certain PHP file, but I can't figure out which one...
You can also modify your theme to tell him not to display submitted information and breadcrumbs for page nodes. To do this, copy your theme's node.tpl.php to node-page.tpl.php, and comment the lines
<span class="submitted"><?php print $submitted?></span>and<?php if ($links) { ?><div class="links">» <?php print $links?></div><?php }; ?>.This may be not the better solution, so wait for other answers before trying this...
