Hi, I'm not sure if the answer should be staring me in the face or not, but here is what I am trying to do:

For the layout It I want to have, I need to end up with:

<div id="name">
	main node content
</div>
<div id="name2">
	some other content
</div>

Currently I have to type out all of the content (including the divs) into the one field when creating pages, since all I have to work with in page.tpl.php is $content.

I want to have two content submission fields within the "create page" form, and assign the new one to something like $content_2 (or would that be $content->something ?) so that I can do what I want with it within my theme structure, rather than typing the divs (and whatever else I need to add in the future) manually.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
Nevin

I know this might sound a bit weird... but I am looking to add a display type to the content templates.

So far we have "teaser" and "body"...

I want a "sub-teaser" which is one more different layout of the way text and images are displayed.

so ie: sub-teaser: title and very short bit of text.
teaser: title, picture, short bit of text
body: full text etc...

How hard can it be really?

I would do this with a views module... but I dont find its themable enough.

any ideas where to look?

thanks as always

Why don't you simply add a CCK textfield or textarea to make that extra kind-of-teaser field? It will come as a separate entity in your $node variable, and you can retrieve and theme it to your heart's content.

Yeah, I discovered CCK right after I posted this. Too bad it's not production ready for 6.x yet.
