Description

I am not getting minipanels to work. (I already have all required modules). I already followed following instructions

1. Create mini panels and choose default (as opposed to tab).
2. Create a tab mini panel and place the default mini panels into rows in the tab mini panel.
3. Create a panel page and place the tab mini panel into a a row in the panel page.
The panel page now has functioning tabs, one tab for each default mini panel. Hurray!

What is happening in the in step2 the tab mini panel shows only one mini panel created above (the first one). If I do the two column mode then it shows side by side (meaning it is getting content fine) but in single column mode they should be shown as tabs and that is not happening.

What is it you're trying to do? You shouldn't be putting a mini panel inside of a mini panel unless you really need to for a complex layout. That's not needed just use them in general.

I am just trying to get tabbed page (with different part of the page showing tabbed content). Just trying to achieve what this demo shows.

http://wimleers.com/demo/mini-panels

The other lay outs (defaults, list etc) are working fine. But some reason it just doesn't show tabbed layout. I tried directly putting two mini panes in panel (single column, placed in two rows one below each other) that didn't work so trying to follow the steps give in the issue above.

just need to show a tabbled content (views) using panels

Sounds like mini panels are working, and it's the tabs that aren't. Therefore, this issue is filed against the wrong project.

I need to know this:
1) which Panels version it is you're using
2) which Panels Tab Style version it is you're using

Please upgrade to the latest versions. I'm confident this will fix it, since it's working nicely for everybody else. You can see this very setup (i.e. tabbed mini panel in a panels page) over here: http://wimleers.com/services.

Closing this issue. If you still have problems, reopen this issue.

I'm using Drupal 5.9 and mini panels 5.x-2.0-rc1a. And all the mini panels display in the incorrect place. When I add the node to them it says they're correct. But display in other mini panel blocks any idea whats causing this? It was working and I've checked the database also and it has all the correct information? I'm at a lose???
