I created an image gallery by CCK + views + imagefield + imagecache + lightbox2.
I wonder how to add the functionality that I could let user add comment when lightbox2 is showing the image? I am thinking

1) a lightbox in lightbox solution, which means when a user click on a thumbnails of the image, lightbox will then show the image in the middle of the screen and a link of "add comment" will below the image, and when the user click on the "add comment" link, it will tragger another lightbox to appear to let user to input his/her comment.

or

2) when the user click on a thumbnails of an image, a lightbox containing the image and the comment input box will appear.

It seems to me the 2nd option is easier to do? Is it? how can I do it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm also interested in this
I have already see an example of this (not Drupal) at this site (just click the first image)

i am also really interested in this question.
a solution like it's done in the gallery of the link would be awesome.
the question is, if this is realizable.

looking forward to see this question answeard.

hmmm... i am actually trying to get this feature running in a local test installation of drupal with lightbox2.
but as i see here, you guys will implement it anyway in the next release?

at the moment i am at the point, that i implemented the style for the comment box, like it looks in the link But i don't know how to insert the content. ( i never made such deep changes in a modul before). I informed myself and i think the way to realize it is a hook resp. more than one. But i don't know how to display it with hooks there, where i want them to display the content.

If you are going to add this feature anyway in the next release i don't have to code by myself...

Roavei: I'm not guaranteeing that this feature will be added, just that I will return and re-assess this issue after the next release. I'm pretty busy at the minute, so I can't even say when the next release will be. If you need this feature sooner rather than later, you might be better off working on this issue yourself. Of course, if you want to contribute back a patch, then even better!

Cheers,
Stella

i gave it a try - but wasn't able to add this functionality by myself to lightbox. i worked on it several days ^^
sorry... but my knwoledge of php wasn't really enough for this problem.

I'm not going to implement this solution. If you want you can add a link to the caption pointing to the add comment page, and / or check out the new 'views trigger' functionality which allows you to customise an iframe containing whatever node fields you want.
