Title pretty much sums it up.

Drupal 8.

I have a view that compiles the full content of a content type. Some titles are longer than others which offsets the grid.

However - the titles are redundant as they are stated in each node description. But are needed in the colorbox pop-up.

Can this even be done? Or do I need to approach it another way?

Thanks!

You can do this a few ways:

1. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/truncate-string-with-ellipsis/

2. use css display:none; to hide it.

3. Use the fields settings, instead of view mode to specify which fields you want.

Hiding in CSS is tempting but slightly lazy. If you don't want to use a view composed of fields, the cleaner alternative is to change the theme template for the content type. One method would be to create a custom View mode to use in the view instead of 'Full' and make a template for that which does not print the titles. The question of how to make a template is rather large though for this task it will not be difficult: you can just take the node template, put a copy in your theme, and tweak it. The theming documentation shows how, though it does seem to assume familiarity with Drupal 7 templating.

I did switch to field view which did the trick quickly.

Thanks for the suggestions!
