Panels

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.

Panel Pages Without Arguments?

Posted by mpdonadio on October 14, 2010 at 6:52pm

OK, not sure if I am searching on the wrong things, but didn't turn up any info on this.

I have a Drupal 6 running latest stable of Panels 3.x and dependencies.

I have a Panel Page set up with a path like /foo/bar, and the page does not accept any arguments.

Is there a way to make a URL like /foo/bar/baz generate a 404 instead of rendering the same page as /foo/bar?

I suspect I can call page_manager_get_current_page() from the page proprocess, figure out which panel page I am on, and call drupal_not_found() as needed, but could get ugly on a big site with lots of panel pages.

Can you create related arguments with Panels and ctools?

Posted by googletorp on October 13, 2010 at 10:25am

I have a little challenge I'm hoping some of you can help me solve.

The setup is pretty simple, I have a panel page that take in two args nid og uid.
In a custom table containing uids nids and some custom data, I have a row for each paired uid and nid.

Now my problem is, that I would like to check if the nid/uid pair exist in the table and return 404 is not.

I was thinking that a custom argument plugin could do the trick, but it seems that they are isolated to a single argument.

Creating Style Base with CSS3 support

Posted by OpenChimp on September 27, 2010 at 6:13pm

I have just discovered the style bases built into the Stylizer module, and am very excited about this. I am thinking that I would like to create a new style_base which builds panes with CSS3 styles. I realize that this will not be immediatly useful for some people because of the lack of IE support, but it would be super cool and would introduce a lot more people to the power of CSS standards which are supported by most browsers now.

Is there a way to control the visibility of a pane by date?

Posted by Annie Rothenberg on September 24, 2010 at 2:51pm

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to this and appreciate any help. I'm struggling to understand contexts, selection rules, visibility, and how to use them all together. What I'd like to be able to do is control whether a pane appears in a panel based on the date of an event. If the event has already happened, I don't want the pane with that event node to appear any longer. I'd also like to be able to control when a pane appears. For instance, I'd like to be able to create a pane in advance, and set it to become visible on a specific date.

Any insight would be very helpful!

Thanks,
Annie

One Panel per Content Type

Posted by ajdiva03 on September 22, 2010 at 9:19pm

Hey Everyone,

I'm a relative newbie to the use of panels so I was wondering if there is any sort of step by step documentation as to how to create one panel per content type.

I feel like I've looked everywhere and tried everything, and obviously there is something that I am missing (maybe a module or permissions or something).

Thanks in advance.

Blank tabs being displayed - please help

Posted by jenifertucker on September 22, 2010 at 3:03pm

I'm learning Panels and come across a display problem that I don't know how to fix. Can anyone advise?

I've managed to set up a set of horizontal tabs, but rather than them open in place within the panel, I want to link the title displayed in the tab to the actual node so that the page is opened in full.

I clicked on a cog and selected "Link the node title to the node" and yes it works.

However, what I now get is a blank tab in between each of the 6 tabs I want.

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone experiencing browser compatible when using style = Round corner errors?

How to override node view with Panels 3

Posted by sgb9809 on September 8, 2010 at 7:55pm

Hello,

I've been looking for information on how to override node view with a Panels 3. There is documentation with Panels 2, but the interface is different with Panels 3. I've found several other unanswered postings from other people looking for the same thing, so I'm wondering if someone here would be able to answer this for those of us who haven't figured this out. Thanks.

Using a CCK Field in PHP Selection Rule

Posted by Lloyd on August 23, 2010 at 4:52am

I've tried to use the code below to display a specific Panels Variant based upon a CCK field value on a text > select list field. So far it's not working. Do I need to add anything to Panels contexts to get something like this to work? Any other explanation?

$return = FALSE;
if( isset($contexts['argument_nid_1']->data->field_landing_page_type[0]['value']) ){
  if( $contexts['argument_nid_1']->data->field_landing_page_type[0]['value'] == 'Info Both' ){
    $return = TRUE;
  }
}
return $return;

Arguments and URL strings

Posted by edulterado on August 22, 2010 at 3:14pm

Hi,

maybe this is a really silly thing, but I´ve trying to figure out how to accomplish this for a couple of days with no results.
I want a section in my site to have different subsections of the form

/main-section // it displays last content submitted for each sub-section. For each subsection the URL will be:

/main-section/subsection-x // and it contains a teaser of nodes for each subsection-X (x=1,2,3...). Finally I want the full view node to have the URL:

/main-section/subsection-x/node

Well, and this is my approach on how to implement it:

Adaptive layout for Panels.

Posted by bdziewierz on August 20, 2010 at 11:03pm

Hi,

Recently I've created a grid based layout for Panels that features intelligent (well, kind of) adaptability. It renders the output based not only on how panes are layed out but also on how empty slots are distributed. It means that panes automatically expand to the right to fully occupy empty cells in the grid. Thanks to this behaviour very flexible auto-constructed layouts are possible.

The project is hosted on Github http://github.com/bdziewierz/Three-Four. Check it out if you're interested. Comments welcomed!

Panels and Views

Posted by pmathur01 on August 19, 2010 at 12:25am

Hi,

I created a view as a block and I am using panels to display the view. Well what the panels displays is just the link to that view. Is there a way where I can add the view page directly in my panel. I am new to drupal so this must be silly but I am stuck..
Thanks,

Three quick screencasts for Panels 3.7/CTools 1.7

Posted by itangalo on August 18, 2010 at 2:12pm

Joy to the world! Updates in both CTools and Panels!

I've made three quick screencasts to demonstrate some of the new features:
* Panels In-Place Editor: Rearrange, add and configure panes directly on the panel view page – no detours to the admin page necessary.

BUG? the In Place Editor does not use the latest jquery and jquery ui upgrade

Posted by RobKoberg on August 12, 2010 at 7:28pm

Hi,

When a page loads that has the in place editor, the old jquery ui file names are used and they try to draw those old named files from modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/ui/minified e.g. ui.sortable.min.js rather than jquery.ui.sortable.js

Passing arguments to add form inside a panel

Posted by Annakan on August 12, 2010 at 3:21pm

Hello

I am trying to avoid using "current user" and other contextual information that are plagued with subtles bugs and limitation.

So I wanted to pass explicite arguments to my add form inside a panel.

Is it possible to do that ?

That argument could be used to set a value in the form or whatever and I can to that in code, but first I need to be able to pass the argument to the add form and I can't find how to do that neither at the "add form" context creation nor when adding the form element to a "panel part" in a layout ...

Is there a way ? Am I missing something ?

Enabling Panels/Ctools broke Image galleries

Posted by jenifertucker on August 10, 2010 at 9:23am

I've found a problem after enabling Panels/Ctools. Has anyone else come across this?

The image galleries I have no longer display as they did previously. Instead of seeing a view of all the images as thumbnails (default image gallery view), I only see one thumbnail (the most recent published).

If I disable Panels/Ctools, the image galleries work as they should.

Any ideas?

Working with Drupal 6.16 and latest versions of Panels and Ctools.

How to pass a string to a pane?

Posted by amir simantov on August 4, 2010 at 4:00pm

I have a pane holding a specific node. This node needs to get an argument (an arbitrary string). I cannot find a way to pass the string from the panel page to the pane.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
