Incorporating personalized CSS into Drupal 7 for concealing the notice

Utilizing my custom block to showcase a flash game on the main page of my Drupal 7 setup, I encountered an irksome message:

<div id="first-time"><p>No front page content has been created yet.</p>
<div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first last">
<a href="/node/add">Add new content</a></li> 
</ul></div></div>

This message persists and I am unable to remove it. Is there a hook available for applying custom CSS? My objective in the module is to render the #first-time element as light grey or invisible.

I would rather avoid adding blank content simply to eliminate that text.

Many thanks! Alex

UPDATE:

I have integrated the following code snippet into my module:

function game_init() {
  drupal_set_message('XXX init called XXX');
  if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
    drupal_add_css('#first-time {color: green;}', 'inline');
  }
}

However, I cannot see the CSS code or the XXX string displayed on my front page.

UPDATE2:

Aha! It turns out clearing the cache did the trick (seems like the Drupal documentation was misleading - supposedly stating that 'inline' CSS does not get cached...)

Answer №1

Concealing the CSS is not the correct approach. Why did you choose to create your content as a Custom Block?

  • You should create a "Page" and designate this page as the front page in Configuration->Site Information.

Alternatively, you can explore other options, but it is not advisable.

  • You can add a BlankPage by including only the Title (then hide it in PHP on page.tpl.php).
  • You can insert your CSS in /templates/themes/bartik.info.
  • You can utilize drupal_add_css on the _init() hook of your custom module.

Blocks serve the purpose of presenting information on every page (although they can be set to display solely on specific pages). For instance, a Menu or a Shopping Cart etc.

Answer №2

When it comes to including CSS for a module, the recommended method is by utilizing the drupal_add_css() function.

Answer №3

Have you considered incorporating this CSS into your website's design?
