Can't add mini panel to panel page - doesn't show in content list

the mini panels I created do not show up in the panel page add content pop up......

What is the cause ?

sometimes the new created mini panel displayed in the main colum on the left in the panel page, not in the mini panel category.
so that is a little bug of panels 3. hope it can be fixed in the next generation.

I flushed the cache, but it still doesnt show up. How did you do it?

Scratch that... I see them now, must've been some setting mistake I did

I have never seen #3. Sometimes the mini panels will not show up because the content available on that dialog is cached, so you have to save the content you're working on to see the mini panel appear.

I have this same problem. I can add the mini panel to a panel node, I can also add it to a panel page which is overriding the standard node display. But,m I can not add it to a custom panels page. I have tried creating new pages, cloning pages... what ever I do, I can't add the mini panel to it!

I also had the same problem and couldn't figure it out. After looking at post number 3 I checked the settings again:
If you give your mini panels a category name it shows up on the left, if you don't it shows up in the mini panels section.

I found that if my mini panel had a required context, I could not add it to a panel node. If I removed the required context, I could.

Sounds like you figured it out.

I found that the mini panel had not been added to the panels_page_allowed_types variable in table variable. Once I added it here manually in the database it would show up under 'Add content' in 'Content' of the variant. This is a bug and need work.

Why did you change the status of a closed issue? Your comments don't even match the rest of the issue, but also, you clearly have no clue what 'needs work' means and you should go read up on what the issue statuses mean.

Required context prevents mini panels from showing up in Panels

I'm putting this here because I had the same problem but found a different solution.

On the Panels (http://ctcitizens.com/admin/build/panels/) there is a settings tab. In Settings->Panel pages there is a list of check boxes under the heading "New content behavior:" -this shows what you want available to your panel page. If it's not already checked, you have to check "New Mini panels" for them to be available to the panels page.

If you have created mini panels before checking this box there are more boxes to check. Farther down the page is a section called "Allowed Mini panels content:"- this shows the mini panels you have already created. You'll have to check the boxes for these mini panels you've created for them to be available for a panel page.

Thanks rdmillner-that worked. Except missed mentioning a clear cache was necessary to see New Mini panels.

Removing useless tag.

I also cannot see new added views and mini panels in "Add Content" windows.
I tried all described above but without success.
I invested about 8 hours solving this issue.

The result is that I disabled the module and look for an alternative to modify the home page of

@rayvan - thank you

For everyone else ... I activated mini-panels later .. after using panels for a while and was unable to create or list panels ... until I cleared the cache on the site ... now all works well.

If you are having trouble, try clearing the cache ;)

Peace,

I have down loaded panels and panels everywhere and it seems like a great tool. I have created a min view and saved it. Im trying to add the mini panel to the many page. I tried to do this by clicking on add content. A new window pops up with options, mini page link should show, but no link. ive looked all over web but found nothing is this a common problem with drupal 7

Comment #10 solved my issue. I had a context on my mini panel that I had set a required context of "node". This prevented it from showing up on my custom page since a custom page is not a node.

It might be important to note, after you've created your mini-panel and you go back in to edit it, that at the top there are links that look like a bread crumbtrail:

Settings » Context » Layout » Content

You use these to edit the different parts of your mini panel. For some reason when I first went in to edit my mini panel I didn't realize I could click on the "Context" so that I could edit my context selections. I know it's a stupid mistake on my part, but for some reason that listing of links blended in for me and I just didn't notice them right away.

Same issue, but because the Panel page was locked (says "Changed" at the top with a padlock symbol). I just saved the page and hey presto! new mini panel now appearing.

I could not chang the title of a block. Finally found that in the mini-panel, I had to click on Content, then on the settings symbol and there it was set on "override title". Comment #22 solved my issue as I didn't know were to find the settings! Thx ladybug_3777

i cannot see mini-panels in page manager. i can see mini-panels under blocks configuration but not page manager. custom blocks appear but mini-panels remain invisible to page manager. this is a bug which, using the latest dev version of ctools, hasnt yet been fixed. surely mini-panels should just appear in page manager?
