The general rule of thumb is to never edit OOTB files, it can came back to bite you in the behind pretty hard, especially with updates and service pack.
I would ghost the master page (or use a custom one). If you want to hide it, I'd do something like: <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Description" runat="server" Visable="false"/> To answer your other question of how to replace it with the title, the following HTML will do it: <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" /> -DB From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Thursday, 30 July 2009 10:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Site Description appears on all pages For WSS sites you can either unghost the master or delete it as required for each page: <tr> <td class="ms-webpartpagedescription"> <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Description" runat="server"/> </td> </tr> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Thursday, 30 July 2009 10:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Site Description appears on all pages Ken, are you referring to WSS site templates only? If you use a custom master you can just remove the placeholder or replace it with the page description.

Right now he description appears on every single page. This is incredibly annoying when the description tends to be rather lengthy. The solution I found is to modify files under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\1033\STS\DOCTEMP\SMARTPGS Cheers Ken _____ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: <http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss> http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: <http://www.codify.com/lists> http://www.codify.com/lists _____ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: <http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss> http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: <http://www.codify.com/lists> http://www.codify.com/lists _____ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: <http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss> http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: <http://www.codify.com/lists> http://www.codify.com/lists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: http://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
