[beamerposter] How do I suppress frame title?

[beamerposter] How do I suppress frame title?

[Mikhail Titov]

Hello!

I’m trying to use orgmode with beamerposter LaTeX package [1] to make a poster. I’ve managed to remove toc and override \maketitle . However I can’t seem to find a way to suppress a title from the only high level section "* Poster". I've tried to add ":B_ignoreheading:" via "C-c C-b i" with no success :(

Is it possible? It is not a big deal just to remove frametitle from the final version but nevertheless.

Unless I missed something, there is no option to suppress this frame
title, sorry.

I just found a quick workaround - to use "* " that is asterisk followed
by a space. It still generates frame but does not insert any title. I
feel like it might be even a bug. But it works since it is the only
frame I have.

I was trying to wrap frametitle (& subtitle) generation in org-beamer.el
into conditional like below but I failed miserably at it.

              (if (not (equal (cdr (assoc "BEAMER_env" props))
"ignoreheading"))
              (progn
              (cons "T" (if (string-match "\\S-" text)
                    "\n\\frametitle{%s}" ""))
              (cons "S" (if (string-match "\\\\\\\\" text)
                    "\n\\framesubtitle{%s}" ""))
                    ))

Your solution works, and I have used it before to get a backup slide
marker saying just "bakup slides" in the centre before. But I think
there can be a cleaner solution with pre/post-process hooks. For an
example of such a hook with LaTeX export, see:

<https://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/org-mode-config.el#L234>

Here I ignore headings for bibiliographies and appendices.

Hope this helps.

Do you mean former or latter one? When I try to change org-beamer.el as described above, I get "Invalid format operation %a" since I do something badly wrong. I was trying to mess with this [1] code. I don't know elisp well enough. I guess I can't do it that way.

I am afraid I don't quite follow your code. I think you deal with plain latex export while mine question deals with some beamer details.

Sorry I didn't mean the elisp snippet. I meant I have used "* " to get empty
titles in the past.

It is just an example. I was hoping you could adapt it for beamer
export. At the moment I am extremely busy with some bureaucratic things
otherwise I would have tried to come up with a solution myself.
