In the display settings of cck an admin can select how a cck field should display, but composite does not obey these settings when pulling in a node for display.

I will look at patching it.

Steps to reproduce:
Go to "Content Management -> Content Types -> [type of content being pulled into composite] -> Display Fields"
Set the display of a field to something other than default
Add a node to a composite node and see that the field's display is not rendered as specified

I think there may possibly be a misunderstanding.

If you showing a node (added via the 'Nodes' tab), then Composite will show the node as title, teaser, or fullnode. Then how the node's fields are shown depends on the settings in 'Display Fields', but that's outside the domain of Composite Layout. Composite Layout is just invoking Drupal core to show a node.

I'm looking for a module that can alter the display of cck fields, so if i understand correctly, Composite Layout can not do that for me? Any suggestions for a module that allows resetting display of cck fields?

@2: Composite Layout is probably not suited for that. Composite Layout can show CCK fields, and you can control how Composite Layout shows them, but that doesn't change the native CCK content type settings.

I'm not aware of a module that does what you want. Maybe try search drupal.org and see what you get. If you still can't find what you need, drop me a line as I could write a custom module for you.
