Drupal 7: calling custom content type field into page tpl?

The structure changed in 7, the field is keyed by language first ("und" by default which means "undefined"), then you can follow this example.

For page.tpl. Php if you access the node directly you can use $node variable.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
