Is there a way through PHP code or HTML to include a node or path (taxonomy/term/2) in an HTML/PHP page? I would like to create a page with some static information but also have the contents updated dynamically.

I know 'include()' works with the entire URL but that includes the whole page. I just want the node, not the header and blocks and all. Can you get 'include()' to work without the php extension?

You can use PHP filter in your page.
Then you can use any php code, but I recemmend you to use Drupal API.
For example:

$node = node_load(array('nid'=>1));
$output = node_view($node, 1);
print $output;

this code loads node object, then creates node view, and then print it out.
You can also manipulate node's object to obtain desired view.

- I wonder how am I perceived when passion enters me :-) -

Works great but now let me explain what I REALLY meant. I guess I misunderstood what a node was. When I said I wanted to include a node what I really want is to include a category or taxonomy. I would like to include all nodes related to a specific category (taxonomy/term/6 for example).

Is that possible using a similar method? It seems like it might be but I can't figure it out via trial and error just yet.

Thanks for the help.

I found the code on the snippets page.

/**
* This php snippet displays content of a specified type, with teasers,
* from certain taxonomy term.
* Sorted by date of creation, most recent first.
* Works with nodes of the flexinode type too.
* To change the length of the list, change $listlength.
* To change the taxomony term, change $taxo_id.


* Tested with Drupal 4.6.3
*/
$listlength="5";
$taxo_id = 6;
$result1 = pager_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT n.nid, n.created FROM {node} n INNER JOIN term_node ON n.nid = term_node.nid WHERE term_node.tid = $taxo_id AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.created DESC"), $listlength);
while ($node = db_fetch_object($result1)) {
$output .= node_view(node_load(array('nid' => $node->nid)), 1);
}
print $output;

Thanks for the help!!!

Do you have only dynamic content on your static page or a combination of both static and dynamic? My understanding was that the latter was not possible (since you have to select php as the input format).

If my understand was wrong, I would like to correct it.

Thanks.

A page to to 'php code' can include HTML outside the <?php and ?> tags

Oh dear! That's PHP basics. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hello Zygmunt,

the snippet is working OK but I'm wondering whether exists a way to specify the node after its alias rather than its id.

With Drupal 6 I tend to ask what people want to do. With views 2 a lot of the need for snippets really goes away and snippets are harder to maintain (at least in my opinion).

So I would suggest starting with what you want to list and looking at view 2.
