I can't find good documentation on this.

I have custom fields in CiviCRM and I want to use them to determine my content for drupal users.

Blocks:
------

I'm looking for a php script to use civicrm fields for block visibility. 
If civicrm_custom_field= 0 then show block.  (I found a few scripts but they don't work)

Content:
------

I'm looking for the equivalent of {contact.city} (CiviCRM mail tokens) to insert into my site's content.  Is there a drupal php command that does the same to access the current user's fields from the civicrm and allow me to show them on other areas of the site.

I've been looking at it. 

I can't find the API 2.0 items to retrieve my custom fields I created.  Basically "custom-8" is the field.  (It has a name but drupal uses a number in the profile views.)

This code gives the array of basic contacts, but I can't figure out how to reach the custom fields from my second profile.

<?php
if (module_exists('civicrm')) {
global $user;
civicrm_initialize(true);
require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';
require_once 'api/UFGroup.php';
$userID = crm_uf_get_match_id( $user->uid );
$retrieve = array( contact_id => $userID  );
$getContact = civicrm_contact_get( $retrieve );

}

?>

Thanks!  This seems to work.

<?php
if (module_exists('civicrm')) {
global $user;
civicrm_initialize(true);
require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';
require_once 'api/UFGroup.php';
$userID = crm_uf_get_match_id( $user->uid );
$retrieve = array( 'contact_id'             => $userID,
                                  'return.sort_name'  => 1,
                                  'return.custom_8'   => 1,
                         );
$contact = civicrm_contact_get( $retrieve);
print $contact['custom_8'];
}

?>
