Panels 3 Integration

Duplicate #276342: Panels Integration for 5.x

Please keep conversations in the panel thread - otherwise things get messy ;-)

Panels integration is definately on the To Do... The problem is "Scope" or "Context"... Eg, is this panel view overriding the user profile? a term page? a frontpage? Without this I do not know what objectst to pass to tokens and therefore token cannot do its job properly.

I also need a little time too ;-)

hey nicholasThompson,

I think this is a different issue than the 5.x version because in Panels 3 there *is* context available to work with. The 5.x thread presents an entirely different set of problems. ;-)

This is a critical issue for me so I'm going to work through it in a preprocess function for now, but I'll post what I do here, maybe it'll help save you some of that time you need so much :-)

That'd be appreciated - I'll see what I can find out about it...

hey.. any success here? i'd love to hear your solution as this is something i'd really like to get working as well

thanks!

Hey guys,

We have a panel that controls our clients homepage, but, if you look at the code in page_title.module:

// If frontpage, then use the frontpage pattern and set the title.
    if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
      // Get the frontpage pattern
      $page_title_pattern = variable_get('page_title_front', '[site-name] | [site-slogan]');

      // If the frontpage pattern is empty, fallback to the default.
      if (empty($page_title_pattern)) {
        $page_title_pattern = variable_get('page_title_default', '[page-title] | [site-slogan]');
      }

      // Append the pattern for pages with a pager on them
      $page_title_pattern .= isset($_REQUEST['page']) ? variable_get('page_title_pager_pattern', '') : '';

      // Applu the token patterns using the one-level replacer (frontpage is only "global" scope)
      $title = token_replace($page_title_pattern);
    } else

This won't change the frontpage at all, only set a pattern or get the default, it won't look at what the user entered. Essentially what I wound up doing was copying that function into template.php, renaming it, and removing the frontpage specific code. Then, in page.tpl.php to get around the Panels issue:

   if ($is_front) { 
	$head_title = themename_page_title_page_get_title();
   }

  <title><?php print $head_title; ?></title>

This did the trick for me for solving both custom front page title and panels title override.

This thread has been open for a while now! Can some one please provide an update on the latest development status of this issue. From what I can tell Panels 3 and page title are incompatible. In both 6.x-2.3 release and the latest development snapshot.

Thanks.

I just found this thread on the Panels Issue queue which might help others:
