Print specific field of a specific node

Question

I have the content type of "Front Page Section" where there are the fields "body" and "field_home_section_photo".

On the home page (page--front.tpl.php) I would like to be able to print the body and image fields separately for particular nodes with their formatting in place:

Print Node 42 Body Print Node 42 Image Print Node 43 Body Print Node 43 Image Print Node 44 Body Print Node 45 Image

You can do this by hook_preprocess_node(&$vars) function. By this function you can check the Node ID then if it is some custom IDs, fetch the appropriate data and assign them in $vars array.

In the aggregate we have

function THEME_preprocess_node(&$vars){
    if(drupal_is_front_page() == true){
         if($vars['node']->nid == 44){
             $newNode = node_load(45);
             $wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('node',$newNode);
             $image = $wrapper->field_home_section_photo->value();
 //here use kpr($vars) to get the correct syntax of  field_home_section_photo in $vars
// suppose it is $var['fields']['field_home_section_photo']->value
              $var['fields']['field_home_section_photo']->value = $image;
           }
      }
}  

don't forget to install entity module.

If you're not familiar with the module layer of drupal I would suggest using the views module to build a view page of all the nodes of type "Front Page Section" and use this as the front page. https://www.drupal.org/project/views
