Panels

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

Panels 2 is a module that uses drag & drop to add content to layouts. It is designed as an API so that modules can use these displays to customize their own areas, and we're working toward fully integrating this solution into Drupal 7.

Contributed Modules Category

Hi. Sorry if this question is really basic, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere on the web.

When using panels 2 to add content to a pane, the user is presented with a couple of categories (ie. Custom, Node Context, Term Context, etc ...). One of these categories is labeled "Contributed Modules". Could somone explain to me why this is here? How exactly do you use this when working with panels 2?

I've also noticed that when I create a view and provide it as a block, the view appear under the "Contributed Modules" Category. Why does it work this way?

Panels and 404

I'm using Panels 2 on a site that I'm working on right now, and I've discovered that paths to non-existent pages that begin with the URL of the panel page do not produce a 404.

For example, let's say that this is a page that doesn't exist:

[1] http://example.com/melvin

If I go to that page, I get a 404 Page Not Found response code, and a 404 page is displayed.

Let's say I have a panel page with this URL:

[2] http://example.com/panel1

Now let's say I try to browse to this URL:

[3] http://example.com/panel1/melvin

When to use Legacy views and Views panes

It is not clear to a new panels 2 user when to use legacy views and when to use views pane, what is the difference, how to use them etc. I think there should be something about these in the panels 2 tutorilas.

It seems to me that views panes offer more options - but I'm not sure.

Would someone who is experienced write a tutorial about it?

Thank you very much!

(I do not wanna be too brash, but I had a support request: http://drupal.org/node/282897 - maybe a detailed answer to this could be the illustration the answer of the above questions...)

Different Panel for each Level of a hirarchical Taxonomy

Hi,

For a hiking-community offering free maps, I want to create 3 different Panels for the 3 hirarchical taxonomy levels I use to categorize the maps.
- one Panel for the first level taxonomy displaying a specific node (grafical map) for each term, block with child terms, block with node list of promoted maps
- one Panel for the second level taxonomy displaying a specific node (Text for this hiking region) for each term, block with child terms, block with node list of promoted maps

UI of CCK, Panel and Workflow

Just wanted to point out this link : http://www.serena.com/mashups/sPR_06112008.html

Because I have seen a demo yersteday and I found some functionnalities very similar to what CCK, Panel and workflow can do.

You can watch the video and even dowload the tool for free to try to play with it.

Maybe it can give you some good ideas for the next versions of CCK Panel and workflow modules.

Is there a way to get the context argument to a custom content pane?

Hi all,

I am in a bit of a dead end here, first a brief description of our case:
2 taxonomies: artist and album
4 content types: artist, album, song, and video pulling from those taxonomies.
node overriden for all through panels2
context puling arguments for taxonomy IDs on those nodes, from both vocabularies, that drive all views panes.

This all works great (got to love panels2), but there is one piece I cant seem to get working:

I aim to have a pane on artist node overrides, that will have a flashplayer, with all videos tagged with the same artist term id, as a playlist.

Making views pager work in panels

So what im try to accomplish is this....

I have a panel page that needs a calendar picker for picking dates and a taxonomy drop down form. I built a view that takes url arguments for the date. in the format of calendar/%y/%m/%d. then when a user clicks the calendar picker it returns to the panel but appending the dates as args (ie calendar/2008/6/25/ ).

using the following code I am able to make my view accept these arguments

Argument Code

$args[0] = arg(1);
$args[1] = arg(2);
$args[2] = arg(3);

$view->is_cacheable = 0;
return $args;

Footer code:

For instance I have a content type called Events, and I only want to search nodes of this type, however I want to state withing the domain of the Events url ('events/whatever')?

Thanks!

How to pass taxonomy term from node context and to embedded view?

First, thanks to Earl and Sam for Panels 2 - an amazing contribution to Drupal! I'm having a ball with it, but have hit a roadblock that has me stymied for the moment:

I want to make a panel page that takes a node id (or a path alias) as argument, and displays the content of that node in one pane, while extracting the top taxonomy term from the node, and passing the taxonomy term as an argument to some views panes in the same panel page.

Here's a diagram of what I mean:

Is the core forum module still needed anymore?

I know that I will most likely be wrong about this, but with the advancement of CCK, Views, OG and Panels, is the forum module really necessary anymore? My idea being is that with all these "practically core" modules, isn't it feasible to create a forum with just these modules?

I can create a content type called "forum post" manually, set the taxonomy for the forums (granted containers would be an issue) and use views to custom tailor the data shown to the users. I can already create 8/10th's of the forum functionality with just that scenario. Unless I am missing something.

The road to D6 Panels2

Yep, we all want it: Panels2 in D6. Unfortunately, as the long and ongoing discussion in the http://drupal.org/node/223994 "Port of Panels 2.x branch to d6" thread indicates, it's quite a task. So, in the tradition of Views and Project, I'm setting up this wiki page as a means of publicizing what needs to be done in hope that it'll attract some help from folks who are willing and able.

First - stages of the plan!

Panels 2 with related terms

Hi guys I need your expert advice I'm new to panels and have used Drupal for a couple months. I did a lot of reading and testing. I've over-written the taxonomy views with panels 2.

My panel pulls in a view and instead of the default view it shows a table of Nodes that belong to that term.. this works fine.

I am missing features that nodes have but panels don't seem to have, mainly related terms.

My 2 problems:

I have taxonomy vocab A with terms a1, a2, etc, and taxonomy vocab B with terms b1, b2, etc.
If I use a node, I can have the node belong to both a1 and b1.

Disable panels for specific themes

Hi, still no answer to my previous question, but I have another one :

If I use node/% to override node presentations, I can't have access anymore to node/%/edit with the standard garland theme.
I would like to have a front theme with panels page aenabled for my visitors, but keep the garland with standard node presentation screens for the admin users.

Thus I would like to disable panels override for the garland theme. Is this possible or am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for your answer

GDO Group Page weights not working

This has probably already been addressed, but since I haven't seen anything about it, I thought I'd mention it here.

I've implemented the new panel pages feature on two groups now: Churches and Drupal in Education. In both cases, I've noticed that the page tabs show up in the order I created them, not in the order I weighted them.

Anyone else notice this? How do I fix it?
