[themes] conditional output based on value of CCK field

[puregin]

Hi Mark,

     i'd suggest that you install Content Template (contemplate)  
module, and Developer Module.
These will help you to discover the way to reference the fields you  
need.
For example, you will probably need to examine

    $node->field_news_type[0]['value']

or something to that effect.

Also, php.net is a good source of information for basic PHP syntax.

Using these resources, you'll find your code probably looks something  
like this:

switch ($node->field_news_type[0]['value'] == 'Retail Week Teaser') {
     case 'Teaser Article':
       // do something
       break;
     case 'Editorial':
        // do something else
        break;
     case 'Full News Article':
        // handle this case
        break;
}

Hope this sets you off in the right direction.

     Good luck, Djun
