Panopoly security review
I just performed a Panopoly upgrade on a dev site I'm working on and it went well. However the Security Review is showing 6 errors out of a possible 10 items and I haven't altered the basic Panopoly at all, I just added some modules and content. I'm wondering if these errors are normal for Panopoly and whether there are any guidelines for fixing them if they are typical for Panopoly.
I have fixed a few issues such as adding a base URL to the settings.php and "Errors are written to screen." But I'm not sure how to fix
"PHP files in the Drupal files directory can be executed."
Read morePanopoly guidance and mentoring
There are so many approaches for creating and maintaining a Drupal site. Panopoly looks to have done a great job of identifying the best collection of modules and bundled them into a distribution.
I have read lots and watched the development of Drupal for a number of years. I have little problem getting Drupal or Panopoly installed. I have run an internal Drupal 6 site and migrated it to Drupal 7. The concepts of doing things make sense during the read, but for some reason or another the implementation details seem to always have several challenges for me.

Hi Everyone!
We're going to be hosting a Panopoly sprint at NYCCamp Thursday, July 16th and Friday, July 17th.

Here is a documentation describing all the ways you can contribute:
If you're going to be in New York for NYCCamp, I really hope you'll join us on Thursday and Friday!
Read morePanopoly 1.22 released with new features and bug fixes!
Hi Everyone!
This release includes a truly massive amount of changes, primarily due to a very successful sprint at DrupalCon LA, which helped to push a couple long-standing issues over the edge. Here are the highlights:
Drupal 7.37
It's in! Not much more to say. :-)
New default preview mode for the "Add Content" dialog
The previous default preview mode showed a preview for ALL the widgets in the selected category. With a small number of widgets this was fine (and looked pretty cool!) but had performance problems with a large number of widgets, not to mention some usability and accessibility issues.
So, we've added a new mode which only shows a single preview at a time.
The old mode still exists and the default won't be changed for existing sites (although, you can change it manually by visiting /admin/panopoly/settings/panopoly_magic and changing "Enable previews when adding panes" to "Single") but this will be the default for new sites going forward!
NOTE: The new mode is currently incompatible with Radix and Radix-based themes! Although, there are some patches in the works - check out #2496027: Generate preview markup in a theme function/template and #2502939: Incompatible with Panopoly's "Single" preview mode on the "Add content" modal. For the time-being, however, it's probably best to keep using the old preview mode if you use Radix.
Increased test coverage
One of the main focuses at the sprint at DrupalCon LA was increasing our test coverage, and thanks to all of the participants there, we were able to do just that in a number of important areas! The bigger our test coverage, the less likely it is that we'll break things when we make changes and release new versions, so this is super important work.
(BTW, if you want to contribute to Panopoly, one the best ways to do that it to help write tests! The effect on the project is long-term and the pay-off increases over time.)
Module updates
We've updated Fieldable Panels Panes, Menu Block, Media, Manualcrop and Apps to newer versions!
In particular, Fieldable Panels Panes is responsible for some of the core functionality of Panopoly, and this release (the first in almost 2 years!) represents a massive amount of work by the Panels community and the FPP maintainer, Damien McKenna.
Behat 3
Our Behat test suite previously relied on Behat 2 and we've finally managed to make the leap to Behat 3!
Since this affects all of our tests and our tests are constantly changing, this was a conversion that needed to start and finish in a very short period of time, and we were only able to pull this off largely thanks to a massive push that cboyden did over a 3-day weekend!
Accessibility improvements
A lot of work has been put into improving the accessibility of CTools and Panels (by Panopoly contributors, namely, cboyden) and those patches have been finally merged upstream and included in Panopoly. This plus the new preview mode make Panopoly more accessible than ever!

Hi Everyone!
At the Panopoly stakeholder BoF at DrupalCon LA, someone suggested that we do weekly Panopoly meetings on IRC. This idea seemed to resonate with everyone there! But we didn't get around to discussing the details and decided to figure that out here on g.d.o!

Read morePanopoly 1.20 released to fix packager error in 1.19!
Hi Everyone!
You may or may not have noticed that Panopoly 1.19 included the wrong version of the panopoly_wysiwyg module. This was due to a caching issue that affected the packager script on Drupal.org:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2455203
So this release is primarily to allow the packager to run again!
Beyond that, this release also includes a couple minor bug fixes. For more information, please see the full release notes:

Read moreMultilanguage in Panopoly
Hi
We are using Panopoly for a larger project and think is rather cool. We do however have one issue which have not been able to resolve.
When a person is clicking "Add content item" the article shows up on the landing page, just as it should. But when the user is changing language on the landingpage, the added content item does not change language - event though the article exists in two languages.
Do you have a clue about this? Can it be fixed with a filter/setting or do we have to look into the code?
Cheers,
Petter

Small help/guidance on working with features
I am i the need/will to start using features on my general development practice. This was long due and I found a nice project to really start using it but although I think I already learnt most of it, I am having some issues understanding or knowing what's the best way of working with them.
Because panopoly uses features extensively, I thought this might be a nice group to look for some specific guidance on how to achieve certain things.
Read moreVirtual Panopoly Sprint on March 7th - Help make Panopoly better!
Hi Everyone!
We're organizing a Panopoly sprint on Saturday, March 7th, from 10am to 4pm CST (UTC-0500).
The sprint will be "officially virtual," meaning anyone can participate over the internet from anywhere in the world. (However, we're also going to have a physical location to meetup for people in Milwaukee, WI, USA - see the meetup event if you're from the area)
A "sprint" is an event where a group of people get together to work on something for a few hours. Sprints aren't limited to technical people or coders - people of all skill sets can contribute. However, as a virtual sprint, it will be a little easier for more advanced people to get involved.
Here is a document describing all the ways you can contribute:
Our primary goal for this sprint, is to try to reduce the number of patches in the issue queue. At the moment we have 280 open issues, including 97 bugs. I'd really love to get the open issues down by 20 and the open bugs down by 10. :-)
Anyway, that means we really need help with these things in particular:
- Confirming bugs, ie. trying to reproduce the problem and see if it's a real bug
- Testing patches and seeing if they do what the issue says they do
- Tagging and triaging issues, ie. organizing the issues so they're easier to manage (including converting "Bug reports" to "Support requests" when appropriate)
- Doing code review on patches to make sure they follow best practices (for coders)
- Writing patches to fix confirmed bugs (for coders)
But you're not limited to those things! You can also help by writing documentation, creating Behat tests, finding new bugs in Panopoly, etc.
