Hey i have installed drupal 7 and u have playing it for three weeks but i cant figure out some thinks so i would be very glad if someone from here can explain it to me.
1. As i unsderstand you can create custom templates for node-types, menus, but how can i create custom template for same menu that needs to be displayed two times differently with different html on different sections on same page???
2. Are there any easy to use functions or some array in easy form to get node content and fields so i can print that dirrectly into the node template instead of letting it render by itself? Because the current array looks pretty hard to understand with all the multilanguage options and uneeded stuff
3. I have nodes that needs to read additional information from the database from other tables so if i would have worked on an MVC framework i would have put that in the controller but since drupal 7 doesnt utilize MVC the only place i found now is to put it in the the template it-self which is a bit non-sense for me.
4. Can i use different html.tpl.php or page.tpl.php per node.
5. How can i render JSON or XML because cos now it only renders the nodes in HTML but if i would like to use some AJAX i would probably need some other rendering.
