I figure if there's no known module or magic views setting that making the module probably wouldn't be too hard but I'm sort of new to using Drupal. So any direction, url or hint would be appreciated.

Thanks

you want to investigate the views.module

I meant to say a link that points to the most current node of a particular content type but that link is in the primary menu

The views module could output all the fields of the latest node on a page. Just limit the quantity to one.

It doesn't have to go link -> node

I think that is what you are asking? No intermediate step.

I'd love to hear about this as well. I've been looking for some time for a way to build views results in a menu. ie: I build a view which outputs a list of 10 links - I'd really like to be able to output that view as a drop-down menu (under a master item, so "Views Menu Item" hover would drop down 10 links from the view).

Not sure about that.

You could do it with the services module and flash.

It is quite easy to get the results of a view into flash and then build a drop down menu/slider with that.

Input is much appreciated, but flash just for a drop-down menu? Seems heavy when suckerfish can probably do the job.

Well it is probably easier to just do it with PHP.

The query comes back as an array, then loop through the array writing out the elements of the drop down.

I can do it in vanilla PHP, but the drupal equivalent I am not sure about.
