Please assist me with hiding the parent title "Articles" in my page titles/headings.

I have already set the parameters in both the menu items and the article itself to display "hide", but the top parent title, Articles, still appears on some pages.

Here's a sample link: http://www.lordisthere.com/index.php?op ... yer-center

Thanks for your help!

In article set dispay to "hide"
In menu items:: Article Options :: Show title to "Use Article Settings".

Thanks, however, that doesn't work for me. I'm using a module, not a menu, to link to the article.

Here's the home page:

http://www.lordisthere.com/

All of the 5 middle icons link properly (removes the "Article" title), except the praying hands. When a user clicks on the praying hands the "Article" title shows. I'm puzzled and have tried many various settings.

Still waiting. Perhaps someone can direct me elsewhere?

Thanks.

I also have the same problem! Hope this can be solved!

I have flagged this problem in this post

To fix you need ftp into your files.
- Copy \components\com_content\views\article\tmpl\default.php
- And paste the file into \templates\**your template**\html\com_content\article
- Open it/download it to edit it and look for <?php if ($this->params->get('show_page_heading', 1)) : ?>
- Change the 1 to a 0 save and upload if necessary

I also have the save problem but thank you saraheagle for your help. I solve it.

It works, thank you saraheagle!

Looked ttillman's site, I think use module is better then use a menu, very smarter choice, I'm trying to do the same change.

I have this problem, but I don't understand the instructions given to solve it. Can someone kindly explain them more fully to me?

"To fix you need ftp into your files.

- And paste the file into \templates\**your template**\html\com_content\article

- Change the 1 to a 0 save and upload if necessary"

Why do I need to ftp something and where to as I usually edit from the backend online. And where do I fined these things eg it says paste the file into ........ where do I find the file?

Thanks if you can help, although I successfully did websites in Joomla 1.6, now I'm using 1.7 and the parent titles are appearing. I can't find an easy way to fix this. And I don't understand this fix! I am about to do another page and don't want this to happen again. I tried a fix I found elsewhere to do with making a NoMenuArticles category but that didn't work.

Here is a link to show what is happening http://www.hamilton-field-naturalists-c ... icle&id=70
The other two pages look fine, no extra unwanted title!
I've posted in one or two forums but don't seem to get answers. This thread is very recent so I'm hoping for better luck.

Cheers
Chris

Unfortunately, you cannot fix this issue from the backend, you have to edit the code in the actual files themselves.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and I recommend you use http://filezilla-project.org to transfer/edit files on the live server. You need to find out from your hosting company your login details to access them. The file paths like '\components\com_content\views\article\tmpl\default.php' show which file in which folder you need to change. You may need to first enter the 'public_html' folder or similar first.

However be very careful doing this as you sound like a novice at editing files

This article saved my day.. Thank you so much.. Hope there is a lot of people like you to help us newbie here in Joomla.

I didn't use Sarah's method in the end as somehow I found that when I actually linked my article to a menu button/item the offending text disappeared! It was only there before the linking.
Maybe this will help someone else and thank you Sarah, I as going to give your advice a go and then the miracle happened :-)

Here's a solution that does not use a core hack, which should always be avoided if possible:

Create a 'Hidden Menu' (which is simply a menu that is not published) then add a menu item to this menu which links to the article. Save this then copy the url of this menu item (from the Link field in Edit Menu Item) and use this url for the link to the article in the module but add onto the end and then the number of the hidden menu item you have created.

'Article' will now not be displayed above the article title.

Thanks erickas! I created a hidden menu item and tried copying the link, but "Articles" was still dislpaying... Then I found your tip re: adding the ItemID to the URL and it worked like a charm.

For those of you looking for the official patch for this issue for both 2.5.4 & 1.7.3 you can find it here:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... m_id=27779

cheers,
Bianca

Thank you for that Bianca

This worked for me. Thank you so much! My article was showing category "articles" in bold at the top of my article which is not attached to either a menu item or module. What a relief to find a solution. Thanks again!

OK of the 4 solutions that ive seen posted the best/easiest is this:

Go to : Extensions->Language Manager , then click on the Overrides tab, then select a language on the right e.g. ” English (UK) site ” and click on new and set the “Language Constant” to “JGLOBAL_ARTICLES” and leave the “text” field empty, and save&close. Do this for the remaining languages(if there are any) problem solved.

Good News,
You can now choose by default whether to show the Page Heading or not. Works on J 2.5.4.

Go to Menus > Menu Manager > Options button (top right) > Page Display Options and set set to No.

Big thanks to the Joomla team for implementing this

Finally something that works !!!!
thanks to merc911

This does not resolve the issue with this post which is the displaying of the 'Articles' title at the top of any page that is linked to from a module. You must use a 'hidden' menu and make your changes there. It works very well.

Sarah is correct about changing it from the backend. She said

Go to Menus > Menu Manager > Options button (top right) > Page Display Options and set set to No.

I had the same prob. Even though the Page Display Option was already yet to NO, you must still click on SAVE which triggers the option so that the ARTICLES title disappears.. So dont be fooled by the fact that Page Display Option was already yet to NO. Still click on save. And the ARTICLE title will disappear form the page in question. No need to hack joomla.

Hmmm.. Press SAVE even though you did nothing.. There might be a life lesson here. Anyway, thanks. That fixed it.

This did it for me:

None of the suggestions worked. Thanks merc911 I just saw your suggestion and I was about to quote the same. I found the same solution at http://askjoomla.com/3240/looking-to-re ... -h1-header

Cheers..
