Hi,
Not sure if this belongs to Panels, Panels everywhere or Versatile.

Supposing I create a three column mini panel with content in each part. The css for each column should come from the standard 3 column panels layout. Instead it is coming from a custom layout I made and put in my theme's layouts folder.

If I switch to a bundled layout from Versatile I don't get this problem.

It's very strange - the themes layouts seem to be over riding Panels layouts, which causes funny layout abnormalities.

Any one else experienced this?

Joe

This would probably be Panels.

Due to the way theme templates work, if you pick a template or CSS file with the same name, as a template or CSS file in a standard layout, and put it in your theme, it will override the file from the standard layout. Is this what's happening?

Hi, thanks for the reply,

I copied a standard layout into my theme layouts folder and renamed the files. When I saw the problem I went into the css and template files and renamed the div classes. I guess there is still something shared between them in the files, so the standard is being over riden.

I'll bring both up side by side and make sure there is nothing that is shared between them.

Thanks, Joe

Hi,
I also get something similar on a new install with no custom layouts created. I'm using panels everywhere and versatile.

For example: I have a 3 column mini panel - standard layout - as the footer.

On the pages where there are no other panels it displays correctly, on the pages where the main content is a Panel, the footer goes into a single column. Something is getting overiden...

I am getting round this by using some of the versatile layouts rather than the standard Panels ones. Perhaps this is an issue with the Versatile theme?

Don;t know if this helps at all - I'll try on a completely fresh install and try to give some more info.

cheers, Joe

It could also be some CSS causing strangeness. I could probably give a better idea if I could see it with firebug so I could follow the CSS and see what's there and what's not.

I had to move it over to using the versatile layouts as I had a deadline, but I'll try to recreate on a fresh install. If it resolves then all well and good - if I still get the problem I'll show you. It seemed to appear after an update - but I updated many modules, as well as the versatile theme - so I'll try to narrow it down.

Thanks, joe

It's been two months - I'm going to go ahead and close this as not reproducable. If the problem *can* be reproduced in the future, please reopen the issue with details.

Sure - I'll re-open if I find time to re-create it in a place where it can be viewed.

Sorry - I've been too busy to give it some time lately...

Thanks for your help, Joe
