Panels

Over the past few days some of us have been discussing the aims and ambitions of this project:

http://drupal.org/project/esi

There are a lot of pieces to be developed to support this properly. My aim is to get something simple in place to allow blocks, regions and panels to be served out of an ESI cache. There are further ideas to build some sort of ESI-assembly into the Boost module, and to implement an intermediary cache layer between Drupal and an external ESI cache (e.g. Varnish) to prevent multiple bootstraps.

So, let's take this discussion out to the wider community!

Hello. I'm relatively new to Drupal and seeking some advice on working with Panels/contexts and a node reference relationship.

I have an Article content type that has a required node reference field, which points back to an Issue (thus an Issue has many Articles). I was happy to discover that using Panels module's Node template and context, I can apply a "template" to all my Issue items that passes the Issue node ID as an argument to a view/block that retrieves a list of the Issue's "child" Articles. Cool stuff.

Not sure whether this is the correct place to ask this. If not, please excuse me - I am new to Drupal.
Am trying to use Panels to create a two column layout on my homepage. The theme I am using is derived from Zen using Zenophile.

Hello All,
I was following the Complete Drupal 6 Ultimate Community Site Guide, but sadly got caught up at the part about using Panels to make custom user profiles, as it was outdated and the configurations/directions were off. I do see that Panels has a pre-installed "user profile" Panel, but I am not sure which of the options I choose when adding the first variant. Could anyone instruct me on which variant needs to be added at first....

Selection rules
Contexts

Are either of those needed? Perhaps someone has had a similar issue and used this pre-made panel instead?

Hi,

Am I missing something or what? : I'm looking for a way to make panels 3 show content (node) based on the url alias - to match the requested URL with the URL alias of the node.
Can this be done with panels 3 ? (This is D6 with the latest CCK, panels, ctools modules to date).

Thanks!

I am new to Panels, and completely confused at this point. I'm trying to set up a landing page using Panels that consists of three views. These views all accept a tid or multiple tid's as arguments. I cannot seem to figure out how to pass in the arguments from my panels page to my views.

I created a panel page and set the path to be "classes/%". When I view the page, the url becomes "classes/%25". If I try to go to "classes/2162", I get a page not found.

I can't seem to find any good documentation regarding how to set this all up, and would love some advice.

Thanks in advance!

Hello

how Can I do complex block using views or panels like Attached image

I've been trying to figure this one out for over a week now so thought I'd come to the Group to see if anyone might be able to offer a solution.

I've attached screenshots of my settings to hopefully make it easier to understand.

Images

I've enabled the built in System Page (blog_user) that allows a User's blog posts to be easily viewed. I chose a Flexible panel and put 3 Views inside, (user_posts, User being viewed, and User Tweets). That part was simple enough and great built-in functionality.

I also added a shot of the View a reference.

The Problem

I'm struggling with creating a panel layout for my site homepage.

What I want to do is display different content depending on whether the user is logged in or anonymous. The logged in user will see recent content, plus a small control panel to help them get started publishing blog entries, etc. The anonymous user will see an invitation to join the community, plus some recent content blocks underneath in case they want to browse the site.
