How to get the current node object

Submitted by amitsedai on Sat, 12/07/2013 - 16:42

For Drupal6 , it is recommended to use menu_get_object()

<?php
$node = menu_get_object();
$story = $node->type == 'story';
?>

However in Drupal 7, node_load() also caches the current node object and in many cases, node_load() returns an object faster than menu_get_object()
