Render a Drupal node

Michiel picture Michiel · Dec 19, 2011 · Viewed 37.6k times · Source

I would like to show a node inside another node. So I retrieve the node id of the second node and I would like to render/print/... it inside another node.
But I'm not sure how to do this. I've tried drupal_render, node_view, print,... but with no results. Any advice?

$nid = $node->field_linked_fiche['und'][0]['nid'];
$fullFiche = node_load($nid);

EDIT - the whole template
