Hello everyone,
I have gone through the list of Drupal sites and cannot seem to find ANYONE with a homepage that differs from that of Drupal. I have been attempting to create an alternative page...with no luck. I have read through the forums, unfortunately ALL the suggestions still had the "submitted by" and "date..." information...very unnecessary for a homepage. When I even use flexinode and create a new node type this unwanted information, i.e. author, date....is still there. Any suggestions on how to build a new page without this information?

Thanks for reading,
Larry

Hello sepeck,
Thank's for your suggestion...it's what I want exactly. However, my question is...where would I put:

if (!in_array($node->type, array ('story', 'article'))) { }

I believe it would go in xtemplate.theme but I'm not sure. Certainly not in xtemplate.xtmpl...or? In any case, I thank you for your response. This will remove a very BIG headache.

Ciao,
Larry

Your guess is as good as mine. I used the first 'modify theme' suggestion. I have yet to really dig into and figure out where the code goes.
