Request for simple activation of image caption (description) in the lightbox2 pop-up window, without any needs for hack's in the Image or Lightbox Module Code nor CSS files.
E.g. Checkbox:
[x] Display Image Body in Footer of Lightbox Pop-up Window
[ ] Display Image Titel in Footer
[x] Hide file-name

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure which images you are loading in a lightbox, e.g. imagefield, image module, etc. However for images created with the image module, the node title is displayed in the lightbox. For CCK imagefields, then the imagefield title text is used.

The filename is never displayed as the option, unless maybe users can't enter in an imagefield title - then it may default to the filename.

As for displaying the body as the caption, there's no way to do it as the caption, due to varying lengths of the body text. However, you can do it by using the "HTML content" automatic image handling option for image module nodes, or "Lightbox iframe: thumbnail -> node page" for CCK imagefields. See also http://drupal.org/node/252260 for more details if adding it manually to links. It also specifies the theme template file you need to modify in order to change the layout of the node in the lightbox.

So I don't see the need to make any changes since everything you've asked for is already present in the module.

Cheers,
