Getting an array of nodes
mediumgrade - May 5, 2007 - 08:25
I have a CCK node type called "quotes." Basically, I want to be able to display a random quote within a block.
What is the best way to get this done?

I want to style this a bit
I want to style this a bit as well (IE, make the quote itself italicized, blah, blah.)
Also, I have another node type called "business" I use for storing clients in my business network. Ideally, I would like to link this business node to the quote node so that in my block, this is a quote, and a link to the business who made it. How do I reference the objects in this way with the API?
Thanks!
If memory serves me correctly...
I think there is already a module to do that. http://drupal.org/project/quotes
