Hi,
I just saw your module. And it looks very promissing!
Will it be possible to make panels with variabele url's with this module.
Say .../panels/taxonomy/term/4 or something, so we can work with url-aliases for panels.
I ask this, because with this functionality we can use Panels as templates..
I will also ask the panels.module maintainer.

Thanks in advance for your reply.
Greetings,
Martijn

Right, that is the idea. I am thinking to generalize this to be a generic API for "argument handlers", although this would not be specific to panels. For example:

  • You could have a panel with path:
    'topics'
    Here the argument handler may set the page title to the vocabulary title, and provide navigation to reach terms as:
  • 'topics/4'
    Here the handler may set the page title to the term, set the breadcrumbs to the term ancestry, and provide navigation for related terms. The panel may have one or more embedded views which take the first panel argument as a term argument.
  • Clicking the "more" button for one of these views might take you to the view's page URL:
    'topics/arg/more' in this case 'topics/4/more'
    Here the argument handler is still active (since it is outside panels or views) and may still set the page title to the term, and also set the breadcrumbs to lead back out to 'topics/4', and then on to 4's ancestors.

The details are still being worked out, which is why I haven't released a new version yet. The module name is likely to change to "flexinav"

Hi,

I hope with this change of thoughts the original stated features will also be supported?
Is it then possible to state instead of say /taxonomy/term/11 /wintersport/france/lesarcs
And that lesarcs triggers the view to show its content in the panel?

Because now views and url-alias doesn't work together is stated on another issue from Merlin (I don't know which anymore).
