Render a CCK field with only the node object in Drupal 6
In D6, you can render CCK fields with:

content_format

e.g:

print content_format('field_my_cck_field', $node-&gt;field_my_cck_field[0], 'default', $node);


See also content_view_field for an alternative option.

If you're in a node template and the field is set to display, you can also just go:

print $FIELD_NAME_rendered // where $FIELD_NAME is the field name
