Description

Hi, I'd like to customize this view...to have say two views, which one might list newsarticles that get posted by that user, and another say that shows the most recent forum posts.

Using the advanced profile & panels, I'd like to have on the users profile page have those as two seperate "panels".

Now, what I've tried to do, is in the views list, I clicked on the "add" link for "user_tracker", and make the appropriate naming/url/filter changes, I get this error...

ok, by just manually duplicating the view, I was able to accomplish this...

hey trevorlee_nc

I'm facing exactely the same problem, trying to alter the user_tracker view (included in adv profile). Obviously you found a solution. What you mean by 'manually duplicating'? You want to say that you built up a new view from scratch with the same parameters? Or did you clone it in any way... if so, how? Because trying to clone, and then customize it, results in the same error message.

Help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Ok - sorry, my question probably was a product of prior laziness... I exactely did the same as trevorlee_nc: 1# disabled the 'old' user_tracker view, 2# created a new 'user_tracker'-view the same as the old one was. and it works. -- don't understand why this is like that, but it worked.

lauscherli , yes ..that's workout fine.

i am actually quite new with panel view /admin/panels/views where's a good documentation for it?

in /admin/panels/views/edit/user_tracker - which part stated 'link' to view 'user_tracker'

reasons, I was trying to create a new "user_tracker_profile" but can't find where to 'link' it.

well, i was only playing a bit around with it... and followed michelle's tutorial on advprofile.

i'm actually also new to it, but if i understood your question better, maybe i could help you.

what you did and what you're trying to do?

I follow comment #3, it works for me. If you were to create a new panel view "user_tracker_profile" with new view "user_tracker_profile", how would you go about it?

... as appose to "user_tracker"

Couldn't this be a start for what you're looking for?

hmmm ... i think this about original panel view (automatically created by modules) not usable for panel page.
I experience this in other cases as well.

only new views can be seen by panel page after being created by panel view.

Well, probably i just don't understand you right.

When the question is 'how to get a view into panel-pages (only to make sure: i'm using panels 2)?' then make a new vew (admin/build/views -> add).
Then you create a panel-page (admin/panels/panel-page -> add), follow the wizzard and in the section 'content' (i think it's called so, not sure) click on the little plus-sign, and you will find your view. Add it and don't forget to save.

Mini-panels act similar like panel-page, only that you can integrate themselves in a panel-page like you'd integrate a view (described above). So you could have a panel-page with three rows (colums? my english is horrible!), where you could add to each row a new mini-panel (let's say with another three rows), and populate every row of the mini-panel with an own view. So you'd end up with nine rows and nine different views... All showing up in one panel-page.

Well, that's all i know about panels/views :-) as i said, i'm also new to it, but kind of like it very much!!!

ps. is see now your question was about admin/panel/view - i didn't work with that yet. somehow didn't need it, panel-page works directly with view... or am i making a big mistake?
