I recently asked for a way to know the current viewed node, someone point me to global $node. The problem is that the variable is randomly available, sometimes it have the correct content, sometimes is empty.
This is probably a bug of Drupal core. I'm using CVS HEAD.
I'm thinking using global $_menu['local tasks'] and do some tricky parsing to find out the current viewed node.
My goal is to have selectively content shown in themes based on the owner of the current viewed node, that's why I inevitably need to know the current node.
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Regards, maykel

Well, if you are not viewing a node, $node is not available, or incorrect. Does that hlep you? Regards, Bèr

No, this is by design. $node is not a global variable.

You can parse the url instead (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))).

You can parse the url instead (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))).
Additionally .. you can retrieve the node using node_load (it caches internally.. )
so if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1))) { $node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)); } will populate the node variable.
