I have a flexinode for a newsletter that I created where I don't want to display the node title, rather I would like the user to create a custom title. Will node.tpl.php control that? If so, can I modify node.tpl.php to not show titles for a specific flexinode?

In node.tpl.php I have this, but I must have the syntax wrong because I can still see the title.

<?php if ($page == 0): ?>
    <?php if(type != 'flexinode-2') :?>
		<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php print $node_url ?>" title="<?php print $title ?>"><?php print $title ?></a></h2>
	<?php endif; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>

Thanks.

In the code you show type != 'flexinode-2' should be $node->type != 'flexinode-2'.

You can also create a template file just for your content type, in this case you could copy node.tpl.php to node-flexinode-2.tpl.php and make the changes in the new file which would only apply to content of type flexinode-2.

I have the node-flexindode-2.tpl.php file to display my content, but I don't actually even have the title field displayed. I think that the node title is controlled differently which is why I thought that I needed to do the edit in the node.tpl.php file.

But that being said, I modified my file as indicated and I still see the title.

Here's the updated code.

<?php if ($page == 0): ?>
    <?php if($node->type != 'flexinode-2') :?>
		<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php print $node_url ?>" title="<?php print $title ?>"><?php print $title ?></a></h2>
	<?php endif; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>

THANKS.

The title is printed in one of two places depending in the context, a single node (i.e. page) or a list of nodes. The changes to node.tpl.php (or node-flexinode-2.tpl.php effect the title for the case of a list of nodes. For the title of a single node you will need to look at page.tpl.php. Look for $title.

I did a search for $title and found this:

 <?php 
		 if ($title): 
		 
		 if ($is_front){/* if we are on the front page use <h2> for title */
		 
		 print '<h2'. ($tabs ? ' class="with-tabs"' : '') .'>'. $title .'</h2>'; 
		 
		 }
		else {print '<h1'. ($tabs ? ' class="with-tabs"' : '') .'>'. $title .'</h1>';  /* otherwise use <h1> for node title */
		 }
		 
		 endif; ?>

will you please let me know how can i get rid of the page title?

I'm using Marvin, and want to change the title display on my pages of a certain type to a custom one. Marvin doesn't seem to *have* a page.tpl.php file, so I can't see anywhere to change it. Any ideas?

Marvin comes in several versions (different names) that work on various versions on Drupal.

For MarvinClassic, look in marvinclassic.theme for the function marvinclassic_node and look for $node->title,

Both Marvin 2K and Marvin 2K for PHPtemplate should have a node.tpl.php

okay i've edited chameleon.theme which is where i found the <h2> title line. My problem now is I don't know how to put what type of node is currently loaded into the if. I want to display a custom title (<h2>) on my 'content-property' nodes, so I put the following into chameleon.theme:

  if ($title) {
	if($node->type != 'content-property')
	    $output .= "<h2>$title</h2>";
	else
		$output .= "<h2>Custom Property page! $title</h2>";
  }

but this did nothing - it just always displays $title. So then i even tried putting 

  	echo "\n\n<h1>Node type is: ". $node->type ." </h1>\n\n";

into the code, but it doesn't display any text after the ':', suggesting that it can't access $node->type from that file.

Any suggestions?

You do node say which function you modified but from your comments it sounds like chameleon_page() where $node iis not available so you need to change your logic to something like this

 if ($title) {
$property_page = FALSE;
if ( arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) ) {
  $node = node_load(arg(1));   // Prior to 4.7 this line should be $node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)));
  if($node->type == 'content-property') {
    $property_page = TRUE;
  }
}

if( ! $property_page )
$output .= "<h2>$title</h2>";
else
$output .= "<h2>Custom Property page! $title</h2>";
}

which loads the node if a single node is being viewed.

Thanks for that - you were spot on.

My only problem now is that I wanted the title to include variables which, when in the node, I got thus:
<h2>".$node->field_road[0]['view'].", ".$node->field_postcode[0]['view'].", ".$node->title."</h2>
Of course, using that code in the theme file doesn't give any output. So is there a way I can access these variables from the theme file?

If you add this to your code
print '<code>' . print_r($node, TRUE) . '';

you will be able to see all the fields available in $node.

That seems to have fixed it! Thanks!
