Hi all,

I've just jumped into patching together code for Drupal and finally figured out how to get the current node id - it's arg(1). It took me ages to figure that out (I searched high and low for it but finally found it). So this allowed me to grab some voting information that I want to display about a node.

I placed the following code in my node.tpl.php file and it works when I am in a node (/node/24 for example) but when I am on the main page (/node) it just outputs zero for each node. 


$nid=arg(1);
$type=node;

  $vote_result = votingapi_get_voting_result($type, $nid, 'points', 'vote', 'sum');
  print $vote_result;

I suppose that this means that my arg(1) is not picking up information per node. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Mohamed

From node.tpl.php you can get the nid with $node->nid and that way you get the nid for the node currently being formatted. Also you should probably change $type=node to $type='node' to be proper php code.

Thanks nevets - that worked perfectly.

Now if someone could just tell me how they build this : http://tec.fresqui.com/ ;)
