I'm wondering if this module can be extended so that nodes created as info boxes can use CCK. I've been able to add the content to the node, but I don't think it's passed on to the blocks.

What I'd like is to have those CCK variables available for theming, so the block template use a CCK variable to set the background color, for example, of the Node Info block.

Is this possible? I might be able to pay for the addition of this feature.

Hmm, don't quite understand what you mean. Info Boxes are attached to nodes. They are not a node type by themselves.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. For example, I've got a node with an info box attached to it. I can then turn on that info box to be a block, but i'm wondering if I can also use variables from the node in that block. So if I add some fields with CCK to the node, can those feed into the creation of the block? Let me know if that's not clear still. I may be going about this completely backwards.

Ah, sure, by all means.

If you are an admin, you should be able to use the PHP input method filter to load the node (and all associated variables, CCK fields included). I hope this answers your question.
