I've created my CCK & Views for users to advertise their trailers, I've been practicing with using Panels but came across a couple of questions.

I was hoping to use Panels to create a 3 column layout page in order to display the recently added trailer (descending order), in the first column have the recent 1-10, second column recent 11-20, and third column recent 21-30. However, what I'm running into - that has literally stumped me is....

Will panels create a pagination, which allows you to click on "page 2" and on that page show the next 31-40, 41-50, 51-60?

I've reviewed some of the screencasts, and read through most of the doc's I could find, but couldn't really find a particular setup or examples such as so...

Could somebody please point me to some doc's to read or have any suggestions?

Sorry for the possible elementary questions but I could really use some help

:)

I have not tried this for myself but it may work!

First create 3 different blocks using views! On that each block edit page you can decide whether to show title, posted by, date and things like that.
In the Basic settings section, click the 'Items to display'.
Below, for your first block, type items to display to be 10 and offset to be 0 ( and Save it )

Then on the second block edit page, type items to display - 10 and offset - 10 ( so that in this block first ten will be skipped ) ( hit save )

Then on the third block edit page, type items to display - 10 and offset - 20 ( so that in this block first twenty will be skipped ) ( hit save )

Then go to panels and create panel page. Decide the layout according to your needs ( that is 3 vertical columns )
then still in that panel page click on 'content' and place those three blocks ( you created earlier with views ) by clicking the + sign in each column.

Hope this is what you are looking for!
I am using D6 , so dont know whether this will work for D5 or not.
