What are the template variables to identify that a page is a term or user?

Question

I'm trying to modify a theme so that when the term page or user profile page are displayed it doesn't generate the title at the top. I figured out how to do it on nodes but I just can't figure out what variable is used in the following code to identify a user or term page. Any thoughts?

Here's the code from my page.tpl.php in a Bootstrap v3 theme:

<?php if (!isset($node)): ?>
   <h1 class="page-header"><?php print $title; ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>

The above example suppresses the title when the page being viewed is a node. I'd like to get this to work for user and term pages as well.

Answer 1

I think a better way to hide the title on user and taxonomy term pages would be to use a preprocess_page function in your themes template.php. This way you are keeping your page.tpl.php cleaner and separating logic.

/**
* Implements hook_preprocess_page
*/
function MY_THEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
    if( (arg(0)=='user' && arg(2)=='') || (arg(0)=='taxonomy' && arg(1)=='term' && arg(3)=='') ) {
        $variables['title'] = FALSE;
    }
}

This will only hide the title on the view pages, but it will still be there when editing content. This is done by checking that arg(2) is empty on user pages and arg(3) is empty on taxonomy term pages as if editing content these would contain the string "edit".

As pointed out by clive the line in your page.tpl.php would need to read:

<?php if ($title): ?>
   <h1 class="page-header"><?php print $title; ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>

Once you have added this code then you will need to clear the cache to see the changes.

There aren't any by default, but you can add them easily enough using hook_preprocess_page():

function MYTHEME_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  if ( ($term = menu_get_object('taxonomy_term', 2)) ) {
    $vars['term'] = $term;
  }
  elseif ( ($account = menu_get_object('user', 1)) ) {
    // Best not to use $vars['user'], it'll only overwrite something.
    $vars['user_page_account'] = $account;
  }
}

And then in the template file:

if (isset($term)) {
  // term page
}
elseif (isset($user_page_account)) {
  // user profile
}

You might find false positives in there, as you'll get (for example) a term object on the taxonomy/term/[id]/edit page. Whether that affects you will depend on what theme you're using for what page. If it's a problem, you can use arg() to check what's in the URL, e.g.

if ( ($term = menu_get_object('taxonomy_term', 2)) && !arg(3)) {
  ...

I tried both of the methods indicated and for various reasons they didn't quite work. Thus I opted for a css option. I added this to my css code for users and I'll add it for nodes and terms as well. Problem solved-ish. It's not elegant and it ends up making some of my pages looks a bit odd but it does work.

body.page-user h1.page-header {
  display: none;
}
