I am experiencing an incompatibility between Taxonomy Filter and Panels when using taxonomy term pages and I wonder if there is a solution to this. What I want to accomplish is to create taxonomy term pages with a TF block on those pages. This is of course very easy. But I would like to use Panels to control the lay-out and that seems to be a problem.

When you want to use the taxonomy term page template that is provided in Panels this can only be done by disabling the page display of the Views taxonomy term view. The reason is that Panels also needs the taxonomy/term/% path and this is not possible while Views uses it. Instead of the page one should create a content pane for the taxonomy term view and use that in Panels (see: http://drupal.org/node/923588 comment #1).

This causes a problem with TF becauses it needs the Views taxonomy/term/% path. So the catch is this: either don't use Panels and create the taxonomy term pages provided by Views and add a TF block. Or use Panels to display taxonomy term pages but then TF blocks don't work and another solution needs to be found.

Is there any solution to this possibly? I assume not but any suggestion would be welcome.

Thanks and best,
Gerben

--> Taxoman, this isn't the duplicate issue as asked in #1282618.

Is there any way to solve the issues raised by Gerben Zaagsma above. I am having exactly the same issue.
I would prefer to use Panels instead of Views, yet, it seems not possible to use Panels with TF as explained
by Gerben Zaagsma above.

Thanks
