How to embed node inside other node?

Hi,

There is a simple way to embed a node inside a node?
Something simple like:
[node:123]

I have search trought modules library and have found 2 options:
- Node Hierarchy - but requires views
- (dont remember name) but only for Drupal 4.x

There are any other options?

Thanks for your help.

Many options...

You could use this php snippet:

$node = node_load(42); 
echo $node->title; 
echo $node->body

The panels module is another option.

Or, you could use the nodeasblock module. Once your node also provides a block, you can place it in the content area.

Does the content you are trying to separate need to be a node at all? Perhaps it could be a block instead, or a CCK field.

Thanks for teaching me about node_load()

I asked two other people and looked everywhere on the Web before being able to find this simple answer, which is exactly what I was looking for, to address the issue of content that was hardcoded into our PHP template but that needed to be managed/owned/edited by non-technical people.
