Quick and Clean CCK teasers Via PHPtemplate

If you are like me, you've been pulling your hair out trying to make teasers work in CCK. Well, as it so happens, I figured out a crazy simple phptemplate method of making CCK body fields act like any other node's body. Observe:

Template.php

<?phpfunction _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {global $user;    switch ($hook) {        case 'node':            if ($vars['field_body'][0]['value']) {            /* Believe it or not, all you have to do is pass the field through             the existing node.module function node_teaser()! */                $vars['cck_teaser'] = node_teaser($vars['field_body'][0]['value'], $format = NULL);            }            break;    }    return $vars;}?>

Drop this in the appropriate node.tpl.php file:

<div class="content"> <?php //for teasersif ($page == 0) {    print $cck_teaser;} //for fullpageselse {    print $node->field_body[0]['value'];?>} ?></div>
