Panels 2 pane fixed argument not working

Hi,

Thinking about this a little further it maybe the textfield for Arguments in which you can set %1/%2/%3 or @1/@2/@3 arguments to be used to place a fixed argument like nepal so it is used as %1 argument in the underneath view?

With this functionality every panel-pane filled with a view can show content related to
1) or the url-argument
2) or the fixed argument set in the panel-pane popup.

Is this possible?

Version and status where set wrong, sorry

Hi Earl,

Thanks for your quick response!
And great to see that you have thought about this on pane-level.
So if I need terms from 2 vocabularies will this be possible to set as arg(1) say nepal
and arg(2) trekking [from a different vocabulary]?

I love to test this if you get to it. Thanks already in advance!

Hi Earl,

That's ok by me, using term-id's while this is not user related.
But I have been able to overcome the view limitation of 1 term-name by using view argument handling code as described here: http://drupal.org/node/161795#comment-639442

I am looking forward to testing this functionality of taxonomy term context!

Hi Earl,
Now, as you suggest, you can set fixed arguments *right now* in the panel pane popup, which is pretty much the same thing but it's not quite as user-friendly, in my opinion.

It seems this is not working, or may be I do something wrong. I have the view argument handling like above set (http://drupal.org/node/161795#comment-639442). This works in my panel if I type nepal/kathmandu as arguments in my url www.example.com/panel_url/nepal/kathmandu.

But it doesn't work when I type it in my panel-pane popup. See attached picture of where I type in hardcoded the arguments.
Off course I presume I am doing something wrong, and if I have to wait on the more gentle approach of the taxonomy term context it is fine by me also. You have a volunteer of testing!

Hi Earl,

Thanks a lot for looking into this!

Hi Earl,

Is this hardcoded usage of arguments for views in a panel-pane again supported? Or am I to fast with this reply?

I tried it in the new .dev version. (20 dec 0.08), but I couldn't get it to work.
As explained earlier I am not able to use the arguments from the url, because I want the panel to fill content which is not in the url.
My view is named oversite- (arg(0))
My arguments are

 arg(1) nepal
 arg(2) katmandu

nepal/katmandu is not working (attached picture)
oversite-/nepal/kathmandu is not working also.

But my view www.example.com/oversite-/nepal/kathmandu works. I got two termnames working with argument handling code settings. But the hardcoded setting in panels-pane-popup doesn't give me the view-content

As described in the help text underneath the panel-pane arguments field (in the popup) I set arg1 and arg2 hardcoded in the popup.
But it doesn't work. See attached picture for the hardcoded placement of the arguments.

Do I do something wrong?

Forgot to set the version to .dev. Now changed. Greetings, Martijn

Hi Earl,

The hardcoded argument-setting in panels pane is also not yet supported, right?
See attached picture for what I would like to do. Be able to set the arguments for a view hardcoded. To be able to only need to add a panel-pane with the same view, but with different hardcoded arguments so the panel shows easily different views in panes but the url of the panel stays clean (no arguments).

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi Earl,

I now tested with send arguments not checked (attached picture).
I have a view called oversite- which has 2 arguments set and working when I type the arguments in the url: ../oversite/kathmandu/nepal.
I made a panel-page with url ../over. The panel-pane is shown correctly when I just type ../over/kathmandu/nepal.
Then I set the panel-pane to this view with the 2 argument set hardcoded kathmandu/nepal.
When I then like to show the panel with just the url ../over the panel-pane with the view with arguments is not shown?
Do I still do something wrong?

Thanks for your reply!

Hi Earl,

No I don't see the select box. See attached pictures for what I see.

Hi Earl,

You brought me AGAIN on the right path.. I had this code in my view_arguments:

$tmpterms_0 = taxonomy_get_term_by_name(arg(1));
$tmpterms_1 = taxonomy_get_term_by_name(arg(2));

After your remark I tried to get the arguments from $args, because they were the same in the view and the panel after inserting your suggested code: drupal_set_message(var_export($args, 1))
The new argument handling code is:

$tmpterms_0 = taxonomy_get_term_by_name($args[0]);
$tmpterms_1 = taxonomy_get_term_by_name($args[1]);

And I was correct, the arg(1), and arg(2) didn't work, but the $args[0]. amd $args[1] did work!
I will alter my argument handling code from arg(x) to $args[x-1]

Are there other things to take care of using $args[x-1] instead of arg(x)? If not I think this issue is solved by using $args instead of arg()?

Greetings and happy new year!,
Martijn

There is by the way no select box at the top for selecting context.

Hi Earl.

Yes I am modifying the filter with the PHP argument code. That is working fine now with $args
Thanks for your reply!
