Re: [development] $node namespace woes -- can we fix this in D6?

i could always just hack project* to always prefix everything it tries to stuff into or read from $node with some kind of custom variable name prefix, like calling this "$node->project_issue_pid" instead of just "$node->pid".

thata the drupal convention, and IMO it works quite well. Contrib modules are second class citizens and should always prefix their variables, form fields, node elements, etc. this system works very well, when you use it.
