View / panel question
First, Thanks to everyone who works hard on drupal and everyone who is working hard on the dojo...im learning a lot.
A quick question. Ive been playing around with the views and panels module and noticed in the Lesson $ class notes wiki that it says "And as we shall see, you can use panels within views and views within panels...". I can't seem to figure out how to put a panel inside a view? I watched all of lesson 4 the other day, but perhaps I missed something? Im going to double check all the view menus, maybe I missed it and it can be put in as a filter somehow? Anyway, if anyone can help me understand how to put a panel in a view, that'd be great.
Thanks,
Brady

While I haven't seen the Dojo lesson
One thing you could try (using cck viewfield or the insertview module) is to insert a view into a node, and then drop the node into a panel.
There is probably an easier way, but that could get you started.
Cheers,

Thanks. Ill give it a shot.
Thanks. Ill give it a shot. I wasn't aware of insertview module, so at a minimum Ill learn a few things ;)

Panels don't go inside views
You're turned around. Panels break the browser page into areas you fill with content. One of the many things you can fill in would be a view.
Views are lists of nodes. You don't "put a panel in a view" but you do "put a view into a panel area."
With the views-bonus pack there are some view types that are built with panels in mind (e.g. spreading a list of nodes over two columns), but the part that says you can "put a panel in a view" is wrong.

Thanks josh
Thanks Josh. I'm not turned around in that I knew what you are explaining to be true, which is why i was confused by the quote from the lesson (I was pretty sure panels weren't nodes as you confirmed). I guess a typo is probably all it was. I might give billfitzgerald's idea a shot anyhow as a bit of fun tinkering and learning.
Thanks again.
