Hello,
I have created a custom content type in drupal 7 with a custom field.

The custom field name is: field_management_title

What I am wondering is how I would print this custom field in my node.tpl.php file. Since I am doing some extensive theming I would like to specify where in that template file it is supposed to print.

I noticed that the page title is printed using the following code:
<?php print $title; ?>
Is there some similar code I could use to print the custom field.

Many thanks in advance

One other note, I did try <?php print $field_management_title; ?> and other similar things but I had no success with that.

The Field data extractor module is useful for this. See the examples.

<?php print render($content['field_management_title']); ?>

I have tried pasting <?php print render($content['field_management_title']); ?> (replacing 'field_management_title' with my custom field name) into page.tpl.php but it isn't working. There's no output.

Can anyone help, please?

UPDATE: Problem solved using Views :)

Why on earth is this so complicated.

There seems to be no thorough explanation of this.

If one wants to output a value of a field or a custom field. Just the simple barebones way.

How is it done?

print render($content['field_myfield']);

This does not work. Also Render is for HTML garbage. So that gives:

print $content['field_myfield'];

The shit is not even close to the fan.

I want to say. I have made this work and I usually do. But I can not understand the logic behind this if there is any.

P.S. I have a basic understanding of PHP but that is not the problem. How things are done in drupal seem verymuch on the side.
