Very sorry if this is a duplicate but I searched without finding anything.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a small "[Edit]" link just above a panel pane (when viewing the panel/page) similar to the option that we have with Views? The target of the link would be the Pane Configuration window with a URL of the form /panels/ajax/configure/%/%. (I assume the last two fields are the panels' node ID and a pane ID?) I've attached an annotated screen shot showing what I had in mind.
I love this feature when working with views but there are also a lot of times when I need to open a specific panel and edit it's settings... title, arguments, etc. The only way I know to do that now is to hit the Panel Content tab, find the pane I need to edit, click Settings to open the configuration pop-up and make the changes there. Finding the right pane can be a pain (pun intended) when there are lots of similar panes on a page.
See http://www.s-tama.k12.ia.us/high_school_staff to get an idea of the kind of layout I'm dealing with.
I Love Panels! Thanks so much for this great module.

merlinofchaos commentedThe only reason this isn't done is that it's difficult to open that modal without the content editor there. There is a lot of information that is not available on a normal page view, unfortunately. So at this time, it is not possible to do that without some surprisingly major code shifting.

Summitt Dweller commentedHey, thanks for the quick reply. Just glad to know I'm not missing some feature that's already available. I hate it when that happens. Thanks.

Letharion commentedSince we now have contextual links in D7 that does this in a very nice way, I'm inclined to close this one. If someone wants to provide a patch for D6, that's great, but at this point I doubt that will happen.

jenlamptonI'd like to revisit this feature request.
There aren't any contextual links for editing panels content panes, but I think this kind of thing may be possible now since the new IPE stuff got in (maybe?). It would be really handy, both for an administrator who just wants to get to the correct pane, and also for a content editor, who maybe would be scared away by the panels UI and just wants to change some text in a content pane (but who doesn't need configuration or layout control).

gmclelland commented#1400884: Custom menu items in pane dropdown links is similar in that it adds edit links for Views and Mini Panels when using the standard Panels editor, ie not the IPE.
Note: I already see a contextual links for Custom Content Panes. It says "Configure Content Pane" in a contextual dropdown.
Comment #6
rozh commentedContextual links for Custom Content Panes is available if "Custom content panes" module is enabled and the pane is marked as reusable.
Is there any way to add "Edit" contextual link to every custom content pane?
Comment #7
gmclelland commentedThis should be fixed with #1400884: Custom menu items in pane dropdown links and #2108413: Add edit link for custom content panes. Update your ctools and panels modules and you should now have a contextual link for "Edit custom content".
The only thing remaining is #1948278: Get an edit link for the view panes in Page Manger.
Hope that helps
