Answer 1

You could start with a

 var_dump($node->field_university_rankings[0]);

To find out how this is structured. I doubt that your code,

 $node->field_university_rankings[0]['"check_plain($node->title)"']

is correct. Since Drupal would hardly use the stripped version of a title as key in an array. Once var_dump() tells you the exact key of that array, use that.

I assume you will find that you will see something like

$node->field_university_rankings[0]['value']; //=> a full, or lartial $node-object.
$node->field_university_rankings[0]['view']; //=> a string with the title of that node, in  a link.

The exact output of 'view' is created with display settings that go with the field. You should try to configure it in such a way, that the 'view' already outputs the correct string.

Hi, if you want to use/embedded a view into your html file you need to use:

• without argoument:

  echo views_embed_view('VIEW_NAME','DISPLAY_NAME_AND_NUMBER');

• with argument:

  $view = views_get_view('VIEW_NAME');
  $r = $view->execute_display('DISPLAY_NAME_AND_NUMBER',array(ARGOUMNT1,ARGUMENT2));
  echo $r['content'];
  

where (for example):

VIEW_NAME "last_cd"

DISPLAY_NAME_AND_NUMBER "block_1"

Hope that this help you.
