i apologize if i am missing something here... but i have been at this for exactly 6 hours and i must be missing something???

Under drupal 6...
with modules CCK Imagefield, Lightbox2 installed...

what i did...

1. created a new content type called 'image'
2. managed fields and added a CCK image field.
3. added content using content type 'image'

in an attempt to get Lightbox2 to display the image i tried the following:
under edit content type, display fields, tried setting the image to: Lightbox2 iFrame original to node page

then upon viewing the node... the image appears to be a link, i click it, lightbox opens and displays a broken link instead of the image....

im not sure how to get CCK imagefield to display a thumbnail in the node, and im not sure how to get lightbox2 to even work at all... i was frustrated that the documentation offered no example step by steps...

i apologize for my frustration and lack of knowledge - this is a desperate plea for help since i am completely shot at this point after being awake and at this all night...

ANY ANY HELP AT ALL EVER SO GREATLY APPRECIATED.

QUICK NOTE... i completely understand how to manually get this to work (i.e. adding rel="" etc etc to the link) however - i would like this to just run lightbox Automatically for all images / content type ' image' without having to manually edit every new post

First of all, can you ensure you're using lightbox2 6.x-1.9 rather than HEAD.

Also, there is fairly good documentation, but the handbook on d.o is a bit messed up at the moment, and it's hard to find the pages. See http://drupal.org/node/274714 and http://drupal.org/node/274487

Have a read of those docs, and if you're still having problems, then let me know

Cheers,
Stella
