OK - Getting closer with custom formatting of views output. With some of your help I've been able to create a custom template to control the output and modify template.php to trigger it.

Now I'm trying to access all of the fields that I defined in the Fields area of the view. I've added each desired field using the Drupal views definition screen and some of those fields are accessible in the custom tpl file I've created.

DrupalCampCT is ramping up! So far, we have 113+ attendees and 10 fellow Drupalists have stepped up to present some on some fabulous topics. We are also pleased to announce John Zavocki of DrupalConnect will be our keynote speaker (http://www.johnzavocki.com/blog-post/johnvsc/about).

Hope you are all having a great summer! I am writing on the behalf of Bridge Technical Solutions (RI). We are seeking Subject Matter Experts who might be interested in contributing to our blog. This month, our theme is Drupal vs. Joomla! vs. WordPress. If you would like to share your thoughts and expertise, then we have the platform for you! Just write up a short blog entry explaining the benefits or disadvantages of using one technology over the other two.

I posted this on the main drupal.org forum, but thought maybe someone locally has experience with this.

I'm trying to create a clickable link with Lighbox2 and contemplate. I have read all the posts, but can't get it to work. I just want to have text that says "Views slideshow" and opens the Lightbox slideshow. The link is on the main page of content so I am using Contemplate and modifying the link in the body area.

Here's what I have done:

field_image_gallery is the CCK field, a repeating field that is part of the content type.

I have a view that has an exposed filter based on a Date field, displaying just the year. It works great, except it shows the +3-3 year range so with 2011 as the central year, the list displays years 2008-2014. Problem is, there are no articles for 2008 nor for 20014. Does anyone know how to set this so that the only years that display are the years we have news articles for? I tried changing the Date Published field "Years back and forward:" to "-1:+1" but that didn't make any difference. I'm thinking this is a default in Drupal theme? any help would be appreciated.
