Hello,

I was using panels 6.x-2.0-alpha3 version (couldn't find 6.x-2.0-alpha3 while posting this issue so chose 6.x-3.0-alpha3) for all these days and didn't have any problem, But recently I tried to upgrade it to 6.x-3.2.

And now I am getting this error: 'An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator.'

So, If anybody could provide a solution for this, I would appreciate it.

Should I upgrade step by step ( instead of upgrading directly from 6.x-2.0-alpha3 to 6.x-3.2) so as to avoid this error? Will this help?
Is there any stable version from 6.x-2.0 series? I couldn't find one on View all releases page.

Frankly, I don't have any knowledge about php and these errors.

Thanks,

Saurabh.

No, Panels 2 was unstable and has been completely deprecated.

On what page are you when you get this error? What exactly were you doing when it happened?

Sorry for my late reply. After checking my issues for 4 to 5 days without any answer, I stopped checking.

Now,
When I realised that I am getting this kind of error while upgrading, I reinstalled my backup of panels and everything was fine.

Its kind of weird now because I can't reproduce this anymore.

when I delete my older panels folder with new panel version 3 and (before doing anything) just get back to my website, First I get these errors

# warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'panels_page_access_handler' was given in C:\xampplite\htdocs\drupal-6.9\includes\menu.inc on line 452.

If I continue with placing ctools and then enabling panels 3 and ctools, everything is still fine except that I can't get my home page anymore.
It says that page cannot be found. I can find only 'pages' link in site building. No trace of Panels link.
After this, I haven't tried running update.php file yet. I am afraid of it.

Also I am quite at ease with this old 6.x-2.0-alpha3 version. but as drupal insists on upgrading to new version ( and as I was dumb enough not to do it at that time :-( , I thought may be I should do it now.

What is your advice now?
should I delete that front page altogether and build again with panels 3? Apart from that front page I haven't created anything with Panels.

You absolutely must run update.php to transfer the data from Panels 2 to Panels 3. You should backup your site database first.

worked!

Thanks, Merlinofchaos!

Now I have upgraded from panels 2 to panels 3.

First I did a backup and then changed panels 2 and then placed panels 3 with ctools.

All the queries were executed smoothly.

I have checked my website. No problem what so ever.

Thanks, Once again!
