Hey, any Views and Panels 2 guru around, got a couple of questions for them.
for views: I want to know how "argument" works, seems it's quite powerful, yet I couldn't find any relevant post in drupal.org
for panels 2:
-
I wonder if I could use it to layout every blog node, and blog node alone, I know I can use panels to do "override" of individual nodes, but I want a panels layout for all the "blog node type", as the content of the layout may change alot, I want to have this panels solution over the page-node-blog.tpl.php theming one.
-
I want to use panels to layout different field of a cck node type, is that possible, while I read the issue queue back in 2007, ppl said it is not possible yet, is there any progress over the year? I think the solution lies in the use of the "context" and "argument" options within Panels 2, however, there isn't much documentation of how to use it. If there is a demo or scenario of how they should be use is very helpful.
-
how to theme panels page with CSS, any reference of all the div tag name in panels?
In addition, any quiz 2 module user here? And any module developer here? I need to develop some question type for the quiz module and expanse some quiz module's function to integrate with profile module. I need some direction.
Thanks in advance.

argument: a way to filter
argument:
a way to filter through the url
for example, filter nodes by author by url: [view path]/[uid]
you "passed" the uid(which is argument) to views to filter nodes
or by calendar/[yy]/[mm]/[dd]
you passed three argument to views to filter the node of date yymmdd
if you want a content type have specific layout, just use the build in theme engine and create a node-blog.tpl.php, you may even create content type specific regions to embed blocks
