Custom Module Code...Time to Come Clean
I've written a function that accepts a user ID and pulls associated teacher profile data (courtesy title, first name, last name, etc.) to display a teacher's name in 'proper' school form. For instance, my username of Mark McFate appears in key places (where students have access) on my site as simply "Mr. McFate". The function is named "stc_user_profile_title" and was intended to be part of my "stc" custom module. The function is currently called from a few templates in my theme and it works nicely.

Missing Delete Functionality
I found out I'm not getting delete because I removed $content from the node-contenttype.tpl.php file. I removed $content because I wanted to customize what fields showed and where/how the fields displayed on the page. I pull the values for display directly from the node object. When I add $content back in I get the delete button, but I also get all the unformatted fields dumped at the end of the page when just viewing it. Is there supposed to be a better way to handle what gets thrown in $content?
