panels

Hi there,

I am stuck on a seemingly no-brainer problem here. Yet I can't find a solution already half a day. In short I cannot get a view to show it's pager inside a Panel.

I have a view, which has the "Use pager" checked and "Items to display" set to 12. I have used the same settings under the Views Panels configuration (http://mysite/admin/panels/views). My "view type" is set to Page.
When the view is displayed alone, it shows its pager and I can browse through the pages if there are more than 12 nodes in the view.

I min [rapport från DrupalCon 2007 i Barcelona][] skrev jag att nästa version av [Panels][] kommer att [revolutionera Drupal][] på samma sätt som [Views][], en annan av [Earl Miles][] skapelser, har gjort. För den som inte har tid/lust/ork att [ladda ned alfa versionen][] så finns nu en [demo site][] som bara måste ses.

I think the CCk Blocks module can provide a possible work around in order to get the Node decorator functionality.

In case I want my detail page ($page=1) at /node/123 of my own content type to display in a panel - how would I do this?

Thank you to everyone that attended this event.

I wanted to point out some things we discussed as well as provide some links to them.

Sony BMG Musicbox was the presentation given early in the evening.
The site makes extensive use of:
- views -> http://drupal.org/project/Views
- panels -> http://drupal.org/project/panels
- node queue -> http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue

I just proposed this session for Barcelona. Hope it makes sense.

Looking deeply at the MySite / Panels integration question, I think what we need is a unified abstraction API that lets modules find, collect, render, and display data in multiple contexts.

Working on a unified API might be the best direction. Take a look at the session proposal and this brief overview.

I started looking at MySite/Panels integration today. From my end, the obvious starting point is making MySite-defined content available as Panels.

Why?

• MySite currently defines 14 plugin types (+3 contribs), which would explode the options available to Panels.
• MySite now has a mysite_display() function that makes accessing a MySite content element possible from within another module or theme.

Here's the issue I ran into, and it may be that I simply haven't dived deep enough.

Jared, Shawn and I were talking this weekend about panels and themes. The question of eliminating blocks from your theme when using a panel came up. I couldn't find the code for this, but just go it from one of my engineers:

I posted a module today that will be of interest to anyone wanting to use tabs on their site without having to do custom coding.

It's called Panels Block, http://drupal.org/project/panelsblock. With it you can expose a set of panels as a block via a new option on the panels edit form. (Only the content added to the 'left' area is made available as a block.) There are two ways to display the content: default (sort of like a regular panel) and tabs. (The tabs.module, part of Javascript Tools, is required.)

Thanks for everyone who turned up at the Tuesday DUG-TO meeting.

Apologies for the equipment malfunction that prevented me from showing more hands on details.

Thanks again to Reg. Charney of HiTechHub for the use of his laptop to get this going.

I will try to write an article on how to create a custom panel in the near future.

As for the presentation, you can get a copy of the presentation here.
