[support] CCK custom view

[Metzler, David]

Are you suggesting that you don't want this page themed using drupal's
theming system? 

Normally customization is done using content-type.tpl files.  But if
you're looking for non-themed pages, then you probably want do develop
your own custom module. 

Happy to advise on either but need to know which strategy you're looking
for here.

Subject: [support] CCK custom view

I have a CCK type (a news article)... is there any way I can give a  
custom view of this (not just the node, but the whole page), so I can  
output it in XML etc.? e.g /path/to/node (uses normal node view), / 
path/to/node/xml (renders it in XML using a template - actually what  
I want to do is render it in XHTML, but in a certain format)

I've looked at Views, but they seem geared towards rending lists of  
CCK types - I just want a special view of a particular node

alternatively, I could have a module that loads the CCK type via a  
callback menu item - e.g. /somecallback/path/to/node  . ... but I  
can't figure out how to load the node based on the /path/to/node  
information.. anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Robert
