first some background. i am currently passing in a node with the nid as an argument. i also have a relationship term from node setup. when adding a new pane i do not see the ability to display the 'terms from node' under term context, only lists 'related terms' and 'term description'. is there something missing? i have seen other requests for the same thing. i have created a view/views pane with context and embed it and this works but not ideal.

for the question in the title. i would like to write a snippet that pulls some info related to the term from the db ( a view displays too much and not what i want, like a count) but i am not able to find how to reference the term. i can get the argument passed using arg(0), is there something similar for terms that have relationship to the node as set in context?

For the type of situation you're describing, my recommendations pretty much boil down this way:

1. If you're planning on reusing this pane in multiple locations across your site, you should really consider writing a panels custom content type plugin. See http://doxy.samboyer.org/panels2 for that.

2. If you just need to do this for a one-time thing, you can use the 'Custom PHP Content' pane. It has some explanatory text built-in to it, but basically, the data that you want will be available in that scope in $context->data->taxonomy; $context->data is a normal node object.

thanks for the quick reply and all the work you are doing on this mod, it's great. one question please, can i assume that it needs to be placed in the 'custom PHP content'? i think i read that 'new custom content' has no context except for the argument passed the panel so will not work.

Yep, that's the one you want.
