We are uploading our obituaries through Feeds into an Obituary content type. One of our advertisers has an agreement that a text link to their website will appear at the bottom of every obituary.
I'm using Views to create a "teaser list" of obituaries on the main obits page; the title of each obit is a link to that obit's page.
I need the "text link ad" to appear at the end of each obit's page ... and below each obit's "teaser" on the main obit page.
The ideal solution to this would be a pre-populated CCK field ... but I haven't been able to find a way to do this.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Block?
Why is a block not suitable for this?
Why not a block?
Well, a block might solve the problem of getting the ad on the page of each obituary ... but it wouldn't solve the problem of getting the ad on each obituary when there are 25 obituaries on a page (through Views).
I ended up using a Text Ad (through the Ad module) to get the ad on each obituary's individual page ... and I used the "Global: Custom text" in Views to get the ad on each obituary in the Views pages.
