Is there a way to pass arguments from views to a node template other than via selecting build modes? I use node as row style.
I used display suite + node displays to set up a custom build mode. In my node-"content type".tpl.php I then can decide via
$node->build_mode
what to render.
But first I feels like way over the top to install display suite + node displays just to pass one argument and second I ran into problems with this configuration. Everything looks fine in view's preview but after saving the view I got a "merory size exhausted" error.
So when there's time I try to reproduce this with a clean install an file a bug but at the moment I would be happy to know if there's another way to pass parameters from views to my node templates.
