Move title display below other fields

Question

When viewing a node, I'd like the Title to display below one of the other fields in the Content Type, but it's not available to arrange in the Manage Display tab.

With all of the flexibility and power that Drupal gives me, do I really need to create a custom template for each of my content types? :(

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

You can do this in Panels.

First, remove the print title statement from page.tpl.php in your theme.

Usually it looks something like this:

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

This will prevent Drupal from printing the title automatically.

Then open up Panels and activate (if you haven't already) the node override template and the user override template as well as any other places where you need to display the title.

Then add the title where you want it to appear from within the Panels interface (Add content -> Page elements -> Page title).

I agree the Title module is a great solution for many use cases. The Title module converts node titles to the field API in order to make nodes fully translatable. This has the effect of adding the title field to the manage display UI and they can be managed like any other field. In many cases this is much better than using template overrides or installing a much heavier module such as Display suite or Panels just to manage node titles. The Title module can be configured to convert the title on all future bundles and existing title fields have a convert link next to them on their manage fields UI.

Page title is not displayed as one of the available elements on the Manage Display page.

To do that, you have to edit the node.tpl.php file. Here's a short overview of what you need to do:

• Copy the default node.tpl.php file from modules/node/node.tpl.php to your theme directory.
• Rename the file in your theme to node--YOUR-CONTENT-TYPE.tpl.php. This way changes you make in this file will be only reflected for this particular content type.
• Open the node--YOUR-CONTENT-TYPE.tpl.php file and reorder the way elements are printed for your node.

Here are some guidelines for node--YOUR-CONTENT-TYPE.tpl.php:

• To render a field use: <?php print render($content['field_your_field']); ?>
• Make sure you always have the <?php print <?php print render($content); ?> ?> in your node.tpl.php file, as well as the <?php print render($title_prefix); ?> and <?php print render($title_suffix); ?>. They render additional output by other modules, e.g. Contextual links, etc.

Answer 4

Instead of using a module for this simple request, you can also just adapt your node.tpl template file, and print the field required before the title.

admin/structure/types/manage/article/display

Please follow image to restructure, from manage display you can set the order of filed according to your requirement: (Please drag and drop fields to reorder )
