I've used Lightbox2 successfully in coordination with Views in Drupal 6 in order to link an image to the node it resides in. Specifically in the settings for an image field in Views, I was able to set the image "Format" to "Lightbox2 iframe : image_format -> node page". Currently using Lightbox and views in Drupal 7 I do not see this as an option. The only Lightbox2 options I see are to display other versions of the image. Is this something not yet fully implemented in D7? or am I missing something obvious like a setting somewhere?

No, you are not missing something, it is a bug, it is not implemented in d7. I will do it at this weekend as it is very simple to add.

Great! Not great that there's a bug. Great that I'm not losing my mind. This is the last piece I need in a site that's close to completion. Thank you in advance!

I would like to have a gallery of thumbnails, which when clicked brings up a slideshow of larger images, and then when a larger image is clicked, that takes the user to the node.

Similar to the request here but perhaps a bit different?

Thank you.

Was it already implemented?

Not that I'm aware. I haven't heard of or seen any updates since yukare's post...

I am looking for the same feature. I noticed that in the Lightbox2 settings under "Automatic image handling" we can adjust the "Image node settings" to display image nodes in a lightbox automatically. But wasn't the content type 'image' abandoned with Drupal 7?

At least the module "Image" which would let you upload images as nodes (enabling comments on them) has not been ported to D7. So the only way to create image nodes in D7 is to create a custom content type and add an image field. But this is certainly not meant with "Image node" in the automatic image handling settings.
