Render a Single Field in Drupal 7

Thu, 09/01/2011 - 18:33 | by nathan

I needed a simple method to render a single field from a node object in Drupal 7, but couldn't find any good answers by searching the web.

Here is the solution I finally came to by searching the documentation:

  // Render the field named "field_image"
  $field = field_view_value('node', $node, 'field_image', $node->field_image[$node->language][0]);
  print render($field);
