Display Content Type Field in region--footer.tpl.php First of all I am overriding the default footer template with my own using region--footer.tpl.php. In the footer I need to display the fields I have in a content type named 'footer'. Can anyone help me with this?
Like I said, fast and dirty:

$nid = XXX;
$node = node_load($nid);
print check_plain($node-&gt;field_name['und'][0]['value']);


Put this into your Template. I assume your field is not translated.
