So, I have setup a content type called 'Client Page' and within it I have setup 2 CCK fields:

Client Content which is multiple text fields (this is the only field the client can edit)

and

Developer content which is a text area with the PHP input filter enabled. What I am trying to do is develop pages using HTML and then using PHP to print the values inputted by my clients i.e.


<div>

<h2>Address:</h2>

<?php print $node->content->['field_clientcontent'][0]['value']; ?>

</div>

I tried this on the Body field and it works (UPDATE: I am unable to get it working for the Body field) but for some reason when I try to php print using my custom CCK field nothing shows up..?

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

rhughes

Install the devel module http://drupal.org/project/devel then you'll get some debugging tools.

You can then do a 

<?php
  dsm($node);
?>

which will give you access to a JavaScript variable browser then you get a better idea of what you've got access to

Hmm,

I installed the module and went into the dev tab for the page and saw this listed:

field_clientcontent (Array, 2 elements)

*
0 (Array, 1 element)
o
value (String, 13 characters ) testing 1 2 3
*
1 (Array, 1 element)
o
value (String, 15 characters ) testing 1 2 3 4

So that field is apparently available...

I believe there is an error here. 

<?php print $node->content->['field_clientcontent'][0]['value']; ?>

Should be 

<?php print $node->field_clientcontent[0]['value']; ?>

Also, it's dirty, but you can always do a 

<?php print_r($node);?>

in your node template and look at the source code to see some structured goodness for this content type

So this is really weird, when I simply enter 


<?php print_r($node);?>

It returns nothing, its like the $node variable is not recognized.

..because I can execute


<?php print "Foo Bar"; ?>

and it will show up just fine, so the PHP filter must be working correctly...

In which template is that. If you are in page.tpl.php, are you looking at a full node page? If you are looking at a teaser list of many posts, of course there is no one $node.

It sounds like you want to theme the node, in Drupal we use templates for that. Your PHP field does not have a default $node.
