printing file entity fields in a node.tpl I have some fields in a file entity type. Now I need to print some of these fields directly in a node.tpl.

How can I do this?
You could do this in a variety of ways. One way: in template.php, invoke YOURTHEME_preproces_node(&amp;$vars){}. Inside it, do:

if($vars['type' == 'YOUR_CONTENT_TYPE'){
   $wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper("node", $vars["node"]);
   $file = $wrapper-&gt;YOUR_FILE_FIELD-&gt;value();
   ...
 }

The $file variable should now contain your file object (or an array of file objects). Debug that with print_r($file) (or, preferably, with xdebug or another debugger) and you can add variables the $vars array there with:

$vars['YOURVARIABLE'] = $file-&gt;YOURFIELD...

which will then be available in your template as $YOURVARIABLE.
