There are currently no variants available and a page may not be added. Perhaps you need to install the Panels module to get a variant?

Hi,

I have installed ctools 6.x-1.5, and panels 6.x-3.5, and enabled all modules within these two packages.

When I try to create a new page through: admin/build/pages/add

It gives the following error:

There are currently no variants available and a page may not be added. Perhaps you need to install the Panels module to get a variant?

Any idea why?

Thanks.

Problem solved!
I do not know how and why, what I did: click into panels settings, and click "save" with nothing modified. After this, I am able to add a custom page.

Enable Panel nodes

You need to enable the Panel nodes module as well as the regular panels module. It comes with the Panels module, you just need to enable it.

That is what I did. I have already enabled all modules within the ctools and panels packages.

After installing ALL the included modules, do I need to do some further configuration before creating a new page?

Thanks

Permissions Issue?

Do you have all the necessary permissions allowed?

I don't think that is the problem, because I am the web admin (uid = 1), which should always pass permission check, am I right about this?

And I just uninstalled ctools and panels, and re-installed them again, still have the same problem.

Thanks.

You do not need to install

You do not need to install the Panels nodes module. That won't help.

Go to the admin status screen. Does Panels report that it needs a newer version of CTools?

There is no Panel related

There is no Panel related item in my status report, and the ctools and panels packages are the latest version on their project page.

Thanks.

Had the same problem, but clearing caches did the trick with me.

Upboats for clearing cache!
