How do I add a page without the the "Submited by User on this date?

By Choice-1 on 2 Dec 2005 at 04:39 UTC

#1. I was wondering how Drupal.org's front page was different from the rest?

#2. And/Or How do I add a page without the the "Submited by User on this date?"

#3. On the page http://drupal.org/project/Modules some of the links urls are linked like: http://drupal.org/project/acidfree and some are linked like: http://drupal.org/node/31463 Both of the link types seem to go to the same type of page. What's the differnce or why would one be different from the other? Is there a SEO preference to either one of these links?

Thank you, in advance.

Yours Truly,
Choice

Some answers

Regarding #2, you can disable the "Submitted by User on this date" on a per content type basis. Goto administer -> themes -> configure (tab). Scroll down to the section 'Display post information on'. Below that you will see a list of content types, uncheck the ones you do not want the "Submitted by" message to appear for.

Regarding #3, what you are talking about are path aliases. They allow you to give the URL a more "readable" URL and one that some search engines prefer. The basic functionality comes from the path module. The path auto module allows you to have alias assigned automatically based on a number of patterns.

Thank you once again for your reply.

In regards to question #3.. Which URL is more "readable"?

http://drupal.org/project/acidfree
or
http://drupal.org/node/31463

If I'm understanding you correctly, Drupal uses the path module called "Pathauto" that automatically generates assigned aliases. Why are some /node/##### and some /project/projectname for example why would http://drupal.org/node/31463 not be http://drupal.org/project/actionfeed ?

Why do you think that frontpage on drupal.org is different from the rest? Can you clarify?

Drupal Front Page Layout...

Choice-1 commented 2 December 2005 at 07:52

Sure, that's a good question.

Perhaps my question should have been...

How do I change the layout of the front page to include an image like the Newsletter block and the table with the screenshots and not to include a Title or Submitted by info?
