Drupal 7: Access custom node field in page.tpl.php

I added a new field "mood" (image) to the page content type. Is there any way to access the image stored in this field in the page.tpl.php?

There is a new "field_get_items()" function in drupal 7. The $node variable should already be defined in page.tpl so the first line may not be required.

This will get the field in the appropriate language. There is also an optional parameter to specify the desired language if needed.

$node = node_load($nid);
$values = field_get_items('node', $node, 'mood');
if ($values != FALSE) {
  $val = $values[0]['value'];
}
else {
  // no result
}

Should be

$node = node_load($nid);
$node->field_mood[$node->language][0]['value'];
