How do I hide the title on a specific node?

Question

How can I hide the title on a specific node?

I have tried the following three modules, but none of them do what I'd like.

1. Page Title

2. Exclude node title

3. Automatic Node titles

I added field_hide_title to the page content type, the code in hook_preprocess_node() function. It can't work fine.

The value shown from print_r($vars['node']) is the following:

stdClass Object(
  [vid] => 4
  [uid] => 1
  [title] => search_material
  [log] => 
  [status] => 1
  [comment] => 1
  [promote] => 0
  [sticky] => 0
  [nid] => 4
  [type] => page
  [language] => zh-hant
  [created] => 1339055801
  [changed] => 1339727555
  [tnid] => 0
  [translate] => 0

      )
    )
  )
  [field_hide_title] => Array(
    [und] => Array(
      [0] => Array([value] => 1)
    )
  )
  [rdf_mapping] => Array(

    [title] => Array(

    [created] => Array(
      [predicates] => Array(

        [1] => dc:created
      )
      [datatype] => xsd:dateTime
      [callback] => date_iso8601
    )
    [changed] => Array(
      [predicates] => Array([0] => dc:modified)
      [datatype] => xsd:dateTime
      [callback] => date_iso8601
    )
    [body] => Array(
      [predicates] => Array([0] => content:encoded)
    )
    [uid] => Array(

      [type] => rel
    )
    [name] => Array(

    )
    [comment_count] => Array(
      [predicates] => Array([0] => sioc:num_replies)
      [datatype] => xsd:integer
    )
    [last_activity] => Array(
      [predicates] => Array ([0] => sioc:last_activity_date)
      [datatype] => xsd:dateTime
      [callback] => date_iso8601
    )
  )
  [cid] => 0
  [last_comment_timestamp] => 1339055801
  [last_comment_name] =>
  [last_comment_uid] => 1
  [comment_count] => 0
  [name] => admin
  [picture] => 0
  [data] => b:0;
  [entity_view_prepared] => 1
)

============================================================ UPDATE:

but I found one thing. before I change the title to NULL, the title has been displayed out...

print_r($vars) in mytheme_preprocess_page function:

[summary] => [format] => php_code ) ) ) [field_hide_title] => Array ( [und] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [value] => 1 ) ) ) [rdf_mapping] => Array ( [rdftype] => Array ( [0] => foaf:Document ) [title] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => dc:title ) ) [created] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => dc:date 1 => dc:created ) [datatype] => xsd:dateTime [callback] => date_iso8601 ) [changed] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => dc:modified ) [datatype] => xsd:dateTime [callback] => date_iso8601 ) [body] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => content:encoded ) ) [uid] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => sioc:has_creator ) [type] => rel ) [name] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => foaf:name ) ) [comment_count] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => sioc:num_replies ) [datatype] => xsd:integer ) [last_activity] => Array ( [predicates] => Array ( [0] => sioc:last_activity_date ) [datatype] => xsd:dateTime [callback] => date_iso8601 ) ) [cid] => 0 [last_comment_timestamp] => 1339039221 [last_comment_name] => [last_comment_uid] => 1 [comment_count] => 0 [name] => admin [picture] => 0 [data] => b:0; [entity_view_prepared] => 1 ) )

Answer 1

You can create a cck field(checkbox/boolean) for that will act as a flag. So you can have a dynamic option if you want to hide the node or not.

Pseudo code:

In template.php

function yourtTheme_process_page(&$variables) {
  if($variables['node']->field_hide_title['und'][0]['value']) {
    $variables['title'] = NULL;
  }
}

Haven't try this code but I think this will work.

EDIT: Added screenshot of a new field

This should be the value of your cck

Answer 2

Use CSS.

Each individual node will have a specific class on the <body> tag of the page, which will allow you to target your specific node.

For example, say you're trying to hide the title on node 69, it would look like the following:

.page-node-69 .page-title { 
  display: none;
}

for node 150 it would look like this:

.page-node-150 .page-title { 
  display: none;
}

You might have to tweak it depending on your theme, and you might have to more specifically target the page title (i.e. h1.page-title) just in case there is more specificity further up the cascade.

Answer 3

I guess you could add something like this into your template.php:

function YOURTHEME_preprocess_node(&$node) {
    // check if it's the node of interest
    if($node['title'] == 'your-specific-node-title') {
       // set the title to NULL so nothing is rendered
       $node['title'] = NULL; 
    }
}

As chapabu suggested it might be a better idea to check the node nid instead of the title:

if($node['nid'] == 'your-node-nid') {
   ...
}

Answer 4

The CSS on the title is a class of title and ID of page-title, so my CSS needs to be

.page-node-69 #page.title {
   display: none; 
}

for this to work.

Answer 5

For Drupal 9, the title is a block. You can edit the block to exclude showing it on specific pages. If I recall, that's a core feature and not a plugin we're using. =)
