Panels

Is it possible replace a specific taxonomy term page with a custom (panels) node?

Like:
Content Type: albums
-pop
--britney spears
--cristina aguilera
-rock
--bob dylan
--the doors

and in one moment i want to create a page for dod dylan, with flash, panels, views and others silly things. But don't want to make custom page for the hole vocabularies, just for one term.

Conditional panels, blocks or in content code, are not serious options because don't provide full node features (keywords, title, internationalization, search result, etc).

I'm wrapping up a D5 Site using Panels 2, and I'm having 2 problems related to the titles of my views in Panel pages:

Problem 1:
I'm embedding a view which accepts arguments in a Panel page. This view also uses arguments in its title. The view title displays perfectly when accessing the raw view by its path, but when the view is embedded in the panel the title is displaying literal "%1" and "%2" for the arguments when they're not supplied. It's like Panels is messing up Views' intelligent handling of these titles.

I want to create a portfolio page, which is basically a view with all portfolio nodes. I never want to display portfolio nodes on an own page. I came up with a concept for this, hope someone could confirm this would work and if its a good idea from an SEO point of view (for example). I also posted this question on the drupal forums, but i think this is a better place.

Anyway, this is the idea:

1. I create a view to display all portfolio nodes.
2. I create a panel page to override portfolio nodes.
3. I put the view into the panel.

I have two node types: A and B. Obviously they both have the same default path in Drupal, which is the generic "node/%".

I would like to override BOTH A and B with a panel page of its own. Obviously both panel pages will require the Node ID context and Panels allows me to specify for which content type I want the display overridden.

I had to work through the Panels Plugin API so I created a Panels Plugin Example module which shows how a developer can create several of the plugin types (content_type, argument, context, and relationship, so far).

I would appreciate any suggestions/corrections/patches/comments and discussion here. Since I'm a newbie to plugins, I just fought my way through it to make it work, and I know that it can be improved.

Hi there :)

I'm just very curious. I really want to use Panels 2 for a project that I am working on, but at the panels-project page @ drupal.org it says "should NOT be run on production sites". When I read this I think "this is not ready at all and I have to find another solution". I have used the 6.x-2.0-alpha3 module since it came out (on a dev site), for my purpose it works very well. I am using the Panel Pages function and printing the nodes with the node override function.

Do you use panels on production sites? Can I use it? even if the project page says NO.

Tnx! :)

While I've been using Panels 2 extensively, I've only just started with overriding the node/add form and have run into a bit of trouble.

The use case is simple: we have a Volunteer node type and want anon users to be able to submit this form and create unpublished nodes for later admin review. We use panels for layout and sidebars for all the user-facing pages on the site, so we wanted this form to be in a panel as well.

I stopped on this one and I'd really need some help or hint:

I created module »custom_panel.module« with this short test code:

<?php
function custom_panel_panels_pane_content_alter($content, $pane, $args, $context)
{
  $content->content = 'some';
  return $content;
}

Of course all panes on page get »some« content.
I'd like control visibility to just one or two panes on a page with if loop in program code. Let's say:

If (some condition) {
  Show me »pane1« and hide all others;
}
