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.

I've room for one or two...

Now available: a drop-dead simple way for LA DRUPAL members to jump into our group's official live IRC chat room. No installation needed! Just click the "Chat with us" link available in the top-left block of our group's main page (groups.drupal.org/LA). This make it super easy for all members. It's perfect for daytime work, getting to learn Drupal from local peers, idle chat box for local meetups & other events. You can even bookmark the URL for quick access anytime, and the link works on mobile devices too.

Hi everyone,

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.

Would anyone like to get together on chartering a private plane to San Francisco or Oakland for BADCamp next month?

A good friend of mine flies on a private plane from Los Angeles to San Francisco a few times a month and she just pays for her share of the fuel. The cost comes to about the same as a regular commercial flight, but flying privately is more convenient for her and it's much faster since there's no airport security to go through. I need to find out how many seats are on the plane she flies on.

Hi all,

My company is looking for a consultant/firm that may be able to help us analyse a new hosting environment and help us optimizing it. Additionally a performance review of our existing Drupal site may be requested. We are trying to ensure that the site can sustain a growing number of authenticated users in the new environment if possible.

If you have any suggestions on who to contact I'd appreciate it. Thank you very much.

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

Pardon me, I have written this post upside down. And I am not going to change that. Key points are made at the end, high level points that can be implemented now, in the rest of this year, within our groups and subgroups. I'm not just talking meetups, or GDO. I'm thinking wholistic. And need feedback, from those members who wish to be more active volunteers.

Hi Everyone!
