Question

When using a cms page in magento I sometimes need an empty content section. Most times this is for my homepage. But magento forces me to put something in content before it can be saved.

Is there a way to get magento to allow empty cms page content?

Answer 1

The Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Cms_Page_Edit_Tab_Content::_prepareForm() method dispatches the adminhtml_cms_page_edit_tab_content_prepare_form event. You can observe this event, grab the field from the form object which is passed into the event, and change its required property to false.
