Context: Simple front page showing a gallery of pictures with titles. I want the link to open the node in colorbox with all fields and additional pictures displayed.
Basically, I can't figure out how to display the teaser (photograph with title) any way other than using the Grid display in Views; but it doesn't seem to have any flexibility ITO rewriting the link.
Thinking I could rewrite all node links to open in colorbox, I tried implementing #28 from http://drupal.org/node/836160 but all I got was a blank screen... even before I needed to figure out how to include the URL. It does seem quite extraordinarily difficult to open a node in colorbox.
Simple question: How can one create a grid/table in Views that shows the teaser, with photo? All I can get the table format to do is display text links.
Or is there another way?
TIA for any and all help...
Okay, I was being, um, cerebrally challenged. I admit I don't grasp a fraction of Views, but anyway.
In my Views Table I can place the "main image" field and open it in colorbox - but how does one get the table into a grid format? Is it possible?

I may not fully understand what you're asking, but there are many avenues to explore. You could use a field view instead of Node view and build it all that way. You could add all the fields, make them hidden, then use the tokens in Views to display them the way you want. You could make the .tpl.php file for your view and display it that way. Or you could use a CSS file to change how the layout works.
If it were me, I'd probably do the Hidden Fields version. You select ALL of the info you want to include on the page, but have them Excluded from Display. Then you add (at the end) a Global Custom Text with all the tokens to build the display that you want.
Hope that helps some!

Thanks Joel, that helps somewhat.
Sure I don't need to highlight my embarassing ignorance of php and css, but I'm stuck at trying to get the data into a table with 4 columns, now.
I came across semanticviews and watched Jeff Burnz's demo, and that seems pretty cool... if only I had a table class in my theme, and didn't have to try and figure that out from scratch. I can see that views uses a table with 1 column, but how would one override that in the theme?
In http://drupal.org/node/156863 Nancy outlines how to create a table in php, but as a non-programmer who doesn't understand the Drupal API I kinda get stuck trying to figure out where to put the code. table.tpl.php, or what? I can't really see that helping me anyway, as it's specifically selecting data which I want Views to do. (Although if I knew enough to create that code in the right place, I guess I could just use that "simple" table... since all my view is showing is a teaser of content that has been promoted to front page.
Frankly, I'm stuck at a conceptual level, and can't see the wood for trees. I don't mind doing the homework, but I'm pretty stuck for a starting point at the moment.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
