In a simplistic answer you should be able to remove the from storytext.thtml.

Then the intro ( now summary) is displayed on the front page, but not on the article page view.

Of course there are other changes, but if any code changes are needed they should be made where it is the templates that decide what is output.

You know, I never thought for a minute that you could address this with templates (you are absolutely right). Only drawback I see with that is it would force a GL novice to learn the template system which may or may not be difficult (I would hope it wouldn\'t be too bad).

Forgot about the template substitutiion, the first line should read:

"In a simplistic answer you should be able to remove the {story_introtext} from storytext.thtml. "
