Anonymous (not verified) commentedGetting the same problem on one specific content type. using panels for layout of node, identical to two other content types that are displaying author pane without problem.
Comment #2
Scyther commentedHave you found a way to get it to work, or is this still a issue?
Comment #3
Anonymous (not verified) commentedNo, it is very much "hit and miss" with the Author pane. Sometimes I create a content type and it works, other times no luck. Same thing with panels. I tried troubleshooting it for hours and could never seem to isolate the problem. I still use it when it works because the layout is ideal and it looks good.
I created my own views of the user picture, name, etc and use those views on panels with user generated content. The only thing I can't include easily is the red and green "online status" icons. I can create "online/offline status" for the views by looking at how long it has been since the user logged in/posted something. If you need help with this let me know, I should probably make a youtube video showing how to create user profile views.

karlsheaPanels > Miscellaneous > Author Pane is the block view, and that checks the visibility rules for the author pane which is why it might not be showing up.
If you add a user relationship in the panel, then you can select the "Author Pane (content pane)" in the User section, which should then show up.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedThanks for the update, KarlShea. I'm not exactly sure I understand what you mean about adding a relationship to the panel. I am familiar with adding relationships to Views and adding an argument to a panel page.

karlsheaIn the Panel Variant Contexts tab, there's a Relationships block that lets you add a relationship to an entity connected to the entity you're viewing. So for instance if you're in the node override panel you can select "User from Node (on node.node_author)" and that will load the user entity that created the node.
Once that's available and you go to add a pane to your panel, you'll see User > "Author Pane (content pane)" which won't check user visibility rules.
