hello,

i have huge problems to understand the cooperation between ng, views and lightbox (i understand each module for itself in general).

i built a gallery view (view all image thumbnails --> lightbox 2 display). clicking on thumbnail opens a lightbox display - so far, so good. but i need the caption text from two cck-fields: one for the image creator (photo by jon doe) and one from another custom field (text) for a longer image caption.

i don't find a way, to show the content from these two fields in the lightbox display.
i checked every menu - node gallery, lightbox, "display fields" of content type "gallery image"...

where's the hook, to put the field content in the lightbox?

do i need views arguments or the view-attach-module? i'm not familiar with both until today.

every help is very appreciated, thanks in advance,

karsten

I'm not sure if lightbox supports this even?

i thougt so, but perhaps my brain betrays me... mh.
perhaps there is only the possibility for showing the title as caption.

of cource i would be glad for every hint that does the trick, but this seems to be more complicated.

thx for your feedback!

Mhm, another case where my knowledge about the lightbox module is too limited. We could really use someone more experienced with it here. Perhaps we can get some help on where to look from the lightbox developers.

Perhaps we can get some hint from the lightbox developers. Then we can implement it in NG if it's possible at all.
