How to display a node in overlay popup effect? I have a content type 'students' with fields name, description and a photo. I have created a view(Block) to display only the images of the students. When the teacher/user clicks the photo of the student, It must show up the name, description and the photo of the student in a overlay/lightbox effect.

I have tried using Lightbox2 and colorbox node module to achieve as per my needs, But needed up in failure. Any help is widely appreciated.

Thanks.
Let me answer my own question. Based on j2r's comments and http://drupal.org/node/1378438 question from this node I was able to solve my issue.

Create href as node/nid/lightbox and rel as lightframe. This will result in displaying the whole page in the lightbox. To avoid this U need to create a page--contenttype.tpl.php (In my case) http://www.digett.com/blog/01/11/2012/overriding-page-templates-content-type-drupal-7 and then remove the header, footer and other unwanted regions in the page.

Once this is done I am sure u will get as what I got.
