I have uploaded and activated Panels, Views and Views Bonus. I want my frontpage to have the following option from Views Bonus.

Panels: Teasers, 1 top + 2 columns

In short, I want my site to function like this one:
http://www.gadgetnutz.com/modules/news/
But with news stories like this:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com

And then, ideally, the content moves down the page and then into the archives.

I activated everything but how do I use it? I don't see any new options..... I'm stuck.
Yours,
Shawn Wasson

I'm doing something similar on a new site i'm developing. In order to do this simply

  • go to Site building: Views in admin -> find the Frontpage view -> click add
  • change View type to Panels: 1 top and 2 columns
  • save the view
  • you can see the new view now at www.yoursite.com/frontpage

To make that view your new frontpage:

  • go to Site configuration: Site information in admin
  • change Default front page from node to frontpage
  • save changes

That's it. I have actually gone one step further and made a panel my frontpage and inserted views into that.

I wasn't logged in as admin and the permissions were off... all is well.
