Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.If I use the Composite Layout module on a page, my layout looks like this (WARNING, there be nudity here!):

If I DON'T use Composite Layout, the images look fine:

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've got a LOT of pages in Composite Layout, and I'd hate to have to manually reformat them all.

bengtan commentedHi,
Sorry, your issue as you've described it is too open ended and ambiguous. AFAICT, it looks like some images are set to be too large, and some are set to be text links - which does not necessarily point to a bug with Composite Layout.
Comment #2
ericinwisconsin commentedSorry if it's not clear. The thing is that they're NOT set as text links. They're set for lightbox2, but show up as text links. If I DON'T use Composite Layout, it works fine.

bengtan commentedHi,
Can you please tell me ...
what does it say on the Zones tab of an impacted Composite Layout-enabled node? I'm especially interested in the values available in the 'Display as' select boxes.
A screenshot would be nice (showing the dropdowns).

ericinwisconsin commentedHello,
Sorry for the long delay. I've been completely out of the loop for weeks.
These screenshots show the frontend that users see with Composite Layout, the "Zones" tab, and the frontend without Composite Layout. Note that the "Cover" field and the "Indicia" field are set the same. Before the issue started, they were both fairly small images that users could click on and lightbox2 would show a larger image. NOW, they're both set the same, but show up on the page differently. The "Cover" field shows up as a text link above the "Indicia" field, which shows up very large. The third screenshot shows the layout WITHOUT Composite Layout. It shows the fields the way they SHOULD look.
Sorry for the nudity.

bengtan commentedHi,
Your Zones tab looks fine - except for the fact that I've never used that particular Lightbox module you're using so I can't say anything definite about it.
It could be possible that the Lightbox module is choking on being invoked from Composite Layout / CCK twice on the same html page. If you change the 'Display As' to use something other than a Lightbox-related preset, does the problem go away? If so, then Composite Layout is working fine, and there is something incompatible with Lightbox. If not, and the problem still persists, then LightBox is likely not the problem, but something in Composite Layout or CCK is.
Comment #6
ericinwisconsin commentedIt's definitely happening ONLY when using Composite Layout. If I don't use it, it all works fine. Also, it doesn't work on non-lightbox2 images either. Choosing just "Image" creates a text link, but without Composite Layout it shows correctly.

bengtan commentedHi,
Sorry, any number of things could be causing this, and there's too many possibilities for me to continue to attempt guessing. I think I'd have to dig into your site to resolve this, but it's not something I'm inclined to do because it would take up more time than I'm willing to give to this issue.
Comment #8
ericinwisconsin commentedI understand. If multiple people were having the issue, it would be more pressing. Since I'm the only one dealing with it, I suspect I have a corrupt file or database. I'll start there.
Comment #9
bengtan commentedExpiring this issue as it is old and uncertain whether it is still applicable.
