General tips and tricks

A collection of simple tricks not specifically related to CSS or plugins

No Entry

If you want an entity not to have a visible Entry block at the top, you can edit the entity and switch the editor to Code view using the </> button in the toolbar. There, delete everything and save without going back to Visual mode.

Note that this will not work when editing the entry specifically (using the pencil icon in the corner) as that form won’t allow you to submit an empty entry. You need to use the overall entity Edit button.

It also won’t work in visual mode because Summernote will usually insert a <br> tag if you save with a seemingly empty field, though this may vary depending on your browser.

I find this especially useful in Timelines and Calendars, where there often is no need for an introductory text above the actual content and you otherwise end up with an empty box.

Empty boxes deserve to be flattened!
