So, I have a content type in cck, smilegallery, I have a teaser template applied using contemplate, i have the full view template applied using contemplate, all is good so far, however the client has now requested it be displayed in a different way again on a different page, so, i need a 3rd template for this and i don't want to go hardcoding this style in a block. Is there some way to do this simply without creating my own module?

I was looking at views but they hurt my head a LOT when i was trying to understand it... there has to be a simpler way in drupal, every time i think something is hard there is a simple alternative that i find a week later so instead of banging my head against a wall, time to ask!

Sorry for such a simple answer.. but Views is pretty easy to understand.. if you can understand CCK, than you can understand views...

Everytime you hear "views" just think of a list.. and things get pretty easy from there.

So I am assuming that there is a way to template each view cleanly? I am quite lost for a lot of this, guess I need to whack my head against the views docs some more *sigh*
