The method described here http://drupal.org/node/252276 to control the lightbox size breaks in views.

My use case is the following :
I'm doing a list of video formats you can choose from with views.
My fields are cck video fields.

I put this as "Rewrite the output of this field"
<a href="[field_video_quicktime_480_fid]" rel="lightvideo[|width:853px; height:496px;][© elephant studios]" title="[title]">480p</a>

and I use file url as format

But the lightbox doen't come up, the file url is used instead.

This works :
<a href="[field_video_quicktime_480_fid]" rel="lightvideo[][© elephant studios]" title="[title]">480p</a>
so I guess there might be a syntax conflict between views substitution patterns and [|width:853px; height:496px;] as they use the same brakets ? But again I'm not a coder so that doesn't make much sense to me.

Thanks for your attention

I found out that the html resulting in this rewrite is truncated :
rel="496px;][© elephant studios]"

Hi I tested the brackets that way but that didn't work.

Anyway all this is not necessary as there is the lightbox trigger in views. And that works fine. I just had to learn how to use it and it gave me my answer.
