When adding or editing a node (ie page, jans node, etc.) the "Log message:" always appears. It can be confusing for users because they don't know where to then add the main content. How can I turn it off so it doesn't appear for anyone?
I would have thought there would be an option under admin/settings/content-types/ but I'm not seeing one.
Thanks!

you could open form.inc (includes folder)

line 710

if ($element['#title'] == "Log message") {return;}

works for me although not sure if any side effects.

That can be done using an override theme function. In Drupal 5.x add the following to your 'template.php' file:

        /**
        * Override node form
        */
        function phptemplate_node_form($form) {
          // Remove 'Log message' text area
          $form['log']['#access'] = FALSE;
          return drupal_render($form);
        }

In Drupal 6, ['log'] is a child of ['revision_information'], so you would want to change the second line to the following:

$form['revision_information']['#access'] = FALSE; // Sledgehammer approach

That said, instead of denying access to everyone, specify which users are allowed to access the field using user_access(). For instance:

$form['revision_information']['#access'] = user_access('administer nodes');

Using this snippet, users with the "administer nodes" permission can access this field, but other users cannot.

This works as well in Drupal 6 for me. Cool!

covenantd,

You could go to http://example.com/admin/settings/error-reporting (Administer -> Site Configuration -> Error Reporting), and change 'Write Errors To The Log And To The Screen' to just ''Write Errors To The Log'.
