Using contemplate to output the body of a node

I need to do the same thing and also came across <?php print $node->content['body']['#value']; ?>
Yet, the problem with that is, that filters/input formats do not get applied to the content in that case.

What's the best way to only show one field of a content type/CCK and still running it through the filters?

I'm looking into this right now, attempting to use node_prepare results in an error. Will post the solution when I find it.

Ah, all becomes clear with a little research.

Contemplate uses a nodeapi hook to apply any defined templates, switching on the 'alter' operation for non-RSS content. The API documentation states:

"alter": the $node->content array has been rendered, so the node body or teaser is filtered and now contains HTML. This op should only be used when text substitution, filtering, or other raw text operations are necessary.

So, if you go to the Display Fields tab, set all the fields you're already handling to "Hidden", all that remains is to add "print $node->content['body']['#value'];" to your template and you're good to go.

I did a quick test by adding a snippet of PHP code to a templated node, switching the node's input format from "filtered HTML" to "PHP code" worked as expected.

Sorry, it's late, I meant to say: For the body, just "print $node->body" in your template - but only if you turn off all the other fields in the Display Fields tab.

Do that, and you'll get the plain (filtered as specified) body content.

Thanks for the info!

I was having the same issues, but I've got a couple of problems when using your fix:

- making fields hidded seems to mean I need to reconstruct those fields in the template rather than just using their default values?
- when using the insert_view module, [view] tags aren't rendered this way, although other input filters seem to be run.

I've been having a play, and I'm finding it easier to just have another text field for the body of the node, rather than the standard node body. I'm a bit worried this will lead to some kind of issue (but I don't know what), but it seems easier than hiding all the other fields, as I can still use their output.

Included [view] blocks still don't work though...

The following works for me:

<div class="field field-type-text field-field-body">
  <div class="field-items">
      <div class="field-item"><?php print $node->content['body']['#value'] ?></div>
  </div>
</div>

I am not sure if the

cck viewfield can help you or php code

<?php
//load the view by name
$view = views_get_view('gallery_name');
//output the view
print views_build_view('embed',   $view);
?>

It looks like this issue has been solved, is this correct?

Thanks #8, that really should be in contemplate by default. My defaults at least for the blog only showed the image and not the body, I cant imagine anyone ever wanting that, the default should be a generic sane setting that would help people like me get it close instead of having to go searching for 30min to find some solution.

Great module though :)
