Problem with using Panel Pages (with Tabs)

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I created some panel pages with a menu type of tab. You can see the tabs at the top here, http://www.remixin.com/contests/fiasco

The problem is now every node has small empty tabs at the top. For example, http://www.remixin.com/winksound/song/i-cant-stop

I restricted the panels to just the nodes of type "contest" (the first link is this type of node). I played with the settings a bit, but nothing I did got rid of the tabs on the nodes that weren't of type "contest"

The url for the tabbed pages are in this format.
http://www.remixin.com/node/225/prizes

It's this url format that is causing the problems. Here's the delema, if I change the url the panels aren't associated to it's parent node. If I leave the url as is all of my other nodes have the empty tabs. Is there any way to fix this or a better method to create tabs associated to a given node/type.

Thanks

have you tried manually

have you tried manually adding URL aliases? might suck if you have lots of content but might be worth a shot... ok actually i just noticed something else too... is node/225 the same content type as node/202? assuming it's not, my guess (imho) is that it's "theme-related"... which drupal version are you using? which theme? (btw site looks good)...

Thanks! I didn't try

Thanks!
I didn't try manually adding url aliases, but that may have worked. I checked the code in my theme and it's just taking the $tabs variable and spiting it out. The tabs must be being set by Panels or core.

I went to see if there was a panels 2 update for Drupal 6, but they stopped developing it and moved on to Panels 3. I ended up installing Panels 3 and recreating my panels in it. V3 is much better! It solved some of my tabs issues, the rest I just manually hacked. So I got things working!

How'd you create the tabs?

I'm looking for some good documentation on how to create tabs. The Tabs panel style module isn't being maintained. How'd you create your tabs?

Try Panels 3, it's still in

Try Panels 3, it's still in beta, but it's pretty cool. The tabbing is buggy but better than it was in V2.

I have been able to create a mini-panel containing a bunch of different content on each tab. But unfortunately I can't seem to get the mini-panel to add a comments tab. Has anyone had this problem before?
