I'm trying to get my mind around how things are displayed to the user.

For example I am referencing fields in a content type 'district' called 'field_code' which has values like CCQ FFI EEJ AAS basically 3 letter codes

However in my list of values in field reference I don't see those codes anywhere! All I see is NODE TITLE : FIELD LABEL

What do I need to see the field label for? I know what the field label is. Show me the field VALUE!

OIC that wouldn't work for images or files or long text, or pretty much every other application apart from mine. I will hack together something for myself :D

I just added this to template.php 

function phptemplate_fieldreference_item_simple($item, $multiple = FALSE) {
  
  $fieldval = db_result(db_query("SELECT ". $item->name ."_value FROM {content_type_". $item->type ."} WHERE nid = %d", $item->nid));
  
  $output = $fieldval.' ('.$item->title.')';
  
  if ($multiple) {
   $output .= ':' . $item->delta;
  }

  return $output;
}

winner
