Hide Posts on homepage

Posted by lucsb on October 29, 2009 at 12:49am

Hi,

I am sure there is a very simple soloution to this. I am trying to hide the posts that appear on the homepage that are activated when "Promoted to frontpage" is checked.

I have my posts in a block which I want to keep but the system posts are displayed in the main content area are what I need to hide. see http://115.178.17.60/~japanhol/

Any help on this please.

Thanks in advance

Go to /admin/settings/site-information and set a node as your front page.

I have /node set as my front page. if I specify a node (node/1) the content on that page appears on the homepage. I want no content to appear there.

Is it possible to disbale the are where that content is displyd?

Views or Panels?

Having /node set as your front page will list all the promoted nodes. Try setting a node and using blocks, put the content back where it belongs. As long as you have /node as your front you will get the list of nodes. Some other things to look at are views (There is a default home page view, you will have to modify it though), panels, or you might want to try creating a custom home page, with page-front.tpl.php.

I have views activated

IViews are activated and the content is in a block and displying fine.

The problem is the posts area. When I disable all posts with Promoted to front page I get the default text:
Welcome to your new Drupal website!

Please follow these steps to set up and start using your website:

1. Configure your website Once logged in, visit the administration section, where you can customize and configure all aspects of your website.
2. Enable additional functionality Next, visit the module list and enable features which suit your specific needs. You can find additional modules in the Drupal modules download section.
3. Customize your website design To change the "look and feel" of your website, visit the themes section. You may choose from one of the included themes or download additional themes from the Drupal themes download section.
4. Start posting content Finally, you can create content for your website. This message will disappear once you have promoted a post to the front page.

For more information, please refer to the help section, or the online Drupal handbooks. You may also post at the Drupal forum, or view the wide range of other support options available.

I do not really want to make a page-front.tpl as it is unessary I am sure.

Suely I can remove this Text and the are it is in.
