Hello,

I think it makes sense to rename the "Settings" option in the drop-down menu when editing a Panel's custom content. Most of my clients find it confusing and counter-intuitive that the only way to get to a panel's content is by clicking on 'Settings'. In fact, I've taken to editing the display-edit.inc file on line 251 so that the option reads "Edit Content" instead of "Settings". But what I'd really like is to figure out how to add a little pencil icon beside the gear so that is one less step, and a much clearer path to getting to custom content in panels. Perhaps this is a redundant request based on some future features that are going to be implemented... If anyone has attempted this before, or has a way around this.... let me know. Thanks!

Gabe

That would be really weird on any content that isn't custom content, though.

You're right. Ideally there would be a switch that differentiates between custom and non-custom content. Maybe I'm misusing Panels, but I find myself editing my custom-content more frequently than my non-custom content.

I've since hacked my panels_show_pane function to display "Settings" and "Edit Content" links (both pointing to the same place). It's redundant, but at least I won't be staring at that menu at 5am thinking, "how do I edit the content again"? :D

Cheers,

Gabe

I added the ability for content types to change their default settings link text, and custom content type now uses 'Edit' while everything else goes with 'Settings'.
