Does anybody know of the implications of using node_load() in a template and have a better suggestion?

Some details:

I have a cck content type that uses the cck reference field to link to a node manually entered (intentionally) by an editor. I am using that nid via node_load() to get a image from the referenced node and display it together with the title. This 'related post' block is a curated list of other posts related to the current one.

Hi, Ventura Drupal! There's a lot of activity in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, but not much here in Ventura County. By my count there have been five events over the years but none have been in 2011. Is anyone interested in there being a 6th in either November or December?

Greetings everyone,

My girlfriend's children's theater company is looking for a projector to rent for a month. They're doing a production of Wizard of Oz and are considering using a live, distorted webcam image to use as the Wizard.

I know precious little about projectors and where to find them, but I thought someone in the community, potentially many someones, will. It seems pretty expensive (at least for a small theater) in my searching so far, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. I appreciate any guidance.

Hello,

I am trying to create a custom image gallery with identical functionality to this http://hectormercado.com/demo/.

I created a content type 'image' that has one cck field called type of work. I created a view that out puts the images as list, and everything outputs fine and dandy.

What I am trying to get is the CCK field and the thumbnail image to show up as LI attributes:

Hi all,

I was wondering, if you had some advice. I have built a feature that includes context (module) and an administration theme (cube). I have figured out that context is not able to let an admin populate the regions of a non-default theme. On my local site i used a workaround in which I switched the default theme to cube and then configure my context and switched back. This still keeps the context even thought the context itself cannot be edited while

When I went to DrupalCon last year in SF, I was lucky enough to take a session with Chris Shattuck. I knew he was beginning a series of online videos about module building and hooks (buildamodule), but I wasn't ready for them then. Now I'm ready, and I've come back to them. The videos have multiplied and are for Drupal 7, and they are just fantastic! Step-by-step, clear, concise and easy to follow. He has a subscription set up, so you can stop paying when you've gone through the videos. A book is good, but there's something about a video that takes it a step further.
