Popup field in view | drupal.org

Posted by Faab on November 18, 2012 at 4:35pm

Here's the deal:

I have a view ( 4x4 items in a grid) each "item block" consists of an image, a title and a brief description. Now because this is a 4x4 grid i want the descriptions to be displayed in a popup when i click/hover a "read more" link. I tried building this using the popup module (http://drupal.org/project/popup) but i get no results at all. I tried loading the field in Lightbox but there is some kind of problem with the trigger, so i'm still working on that. Are there any different ways of reaching this goal? Modules? Code? I'm no tech wizz so please be gentle!

I too am trying to accomplish nearly the same thing: basically a hover-triggered popup menu on a signup user profile picture icon.

I'm finding info on how to create popups in all sorts of ways, but no way to rewrite views fields where one (like the user icon) is the hover trigger and not just some title. I don't think I can put the token for the field in the rewrite of that popup title but going to try it now.
