A simplified node load with just the CCK fields

This is how you can make a simplified node load function just for CCK fields to avoid all invoke calls.

<?php
/**
 * A simplified node load function with just CCK fields
 *
 * @param unknown_type $node_nid
 * @return unknown
 */
function simple_load($node_nid) {
    $node = new stdClass();
    $node->nid = $node_nid;
    $node_info = db_fetch_object(db_query("SELECT vid, type, title FROM {node} WHERE nid = %d", $node_nid));
    $node->vid  = $node_info->vid;
    $node->type = $node_info->type;
    $node->title = $node_info->title;
    $content = content_storage('load', $node);
   
    foreach ($content as $key => $value) {
        $node->$key = $value;
    }
   
    return $node;
}
?>
