Using Panels2 as OG homepage View

this has changed a bit...
but, you are in luck.. the id is a layout so $id='twocol' for example...
you will need to manually define the $content as explained below.

from panels2 on line 1230

/**
 * For external use: Given a layout ID and a $content array, return the
 * panel display. The content array is filled in based upon the content
 * available in the layout. If it's a two column with a content
 * array defined like array('left' => t('Left side'), 'right' => 
 * t('Right side')), then the $content array should be array('left' => 
 * $output_left, 'right' => $output_right)
 */
function panels_print_layout($id, $content) {
  $layout = panels_get_layout($id);
  if (!$layout) {
    return;
  }
  
  return panels_render_layout($layout, $content);
}

gracearoha: panels_page_page() is now panels_page_view_page() but is otherwise the same.

veggieryan's suggestion works as well, though it's more for customized layouts.

After reading this http://drupal.org/node/166119 ...I understand the new function that is used, but when I use this function- i am having 2 major problems
1. it inserts my whole page in the group home page. I thought if I check the panels configuration page and checked "Disable Drupal blocks/regions" it would work better...but did not

2.also getting a warning
warning: Missing argument 2 for panels_page_view_page(), called in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/frudea/sites/all/themes/salamander/node-your_new_frudea.tpl.php on line 3 and defined in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/frudea/sites/all/modules/panels/panels_page/panels_page.module on line 610.

much appreciated if can help me out in any way:)

I'm not sure I understand 1) at all. There's no reason any of the above code should do that. I'd say there's something oddly wrong, though. Maybe you're doing your print in the wrong place. For 2) the format for panels_page_view_page() has changed slightly; it now needs a second argument and that argument should be FALSE.

you da man...no really you are:) thanks for your help:)

to give you an update on problem (1) - i have no idea what was going on...but i think inserted something weird in the panels themselves..

Jamie

So this is fixed now, right?

BTW, next time please submit a new issue, and reference prior issues.

yes- thanks

sorry about that - will make sure i do that next time

still need some help/explanation especially with the new panel & OG panel.

With og_panels.module enabled, click on the Pages tab in a group where you are a group admin and have the manage OG panel pages permission.

Oh ok. Got it. However, I had satisfactory result by using Node override as mentioned in your website (http://www.tejasa.com/node/160). Great tutorial BTW.

i don't have to even do other thing i.e create blank views, create node-group.tpl.php, etc. Node override does it. mentioned above as well as in other posts.

With such fast rate development and improvement, I guess I got all mixed up with old stuff?

Even now, I am still confused.

If I still have node overide, it seems that it has the highest priority and disregard OG panel pages. (panel set as Home page)
If a specific group do not have pages set, it uses default views.

How can I have, all groups will use default panel page. Only selected group will have a special page content set via OG Panels to this specific group?

oh yeahh ... I got all mixed up. I think I am getting it now ...
