Hi,
I'm experimenting a little with the panels 2 module (5.x-2.0-beta1), because I think I might need it for a project I will be working on soon. There is one thing I can't figure out how to do it: add an existing node as content. Did I miss something very obvious somewhere? Or is this something Panels wasn't designed to do? (If so: why not?) Or does it have something to do with the error message I see in admin/panels/panel-page/panel2/edit/content: "warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [my siteroot]/sites/all/modules/panels/includes/plugins.inc on line 423."?
I hope my question is clear and somebody can help me out here. Thanks!

I am getting the same warning message. It seems to work when I create Panels, but I am concerned that something may break in the future. Thanks!

In Panels 2, the method to add a node to a panel is not as straight forward as a newbie like me would expect. I assume there are good reasons for this. At this moment the documentation for Panels 2 is still work-in-progress (and how could we blame them, the module itself is in beta too) but the method to add a node to a panel can be found in this issue: http://drupal.org/node/206317.

I saw the screenshots of the new UI and .... eeek. It all looks a lot more complicated.

I don't know the best way to do it, but the way I've always put nodes into panels is via an embedded View.

I solve this problem adding argument (%node) and context (Node ID) in Panel page edit form. Then the "Add content / Node" option appear. Maybe it could be useful to you.
