I want to have a view render nodes using panels or mini panels more appropriately I think.
My current use would be to layout a list of users represented by their profile_node from the advanced profile module but it is a much more general question.

I though that the bonus_view "Panels: 2 columns" for instance would allow me to layout the content_profile user nodes in two columns of panels but it "simply" render the teaser view of the node in two columns.

It seems so obvious a problem to me that I feel stupid not having found an answer to this.
It seems related to http://drupal.org/node/463032 and so maybe this http://drupal.org/node/643430#comment-2339614 and maybe the bonus_views module but I can't really get my head around it, too many stuff to figure at the same time with panels, page, mini panels, views, contexts ... So if this is an obvious ten time answered question just point me to were I can educate myself while burying my head in the sand.

Am I missing something obvious ?
Or is the way to do that to force with code as in http://drupal.org/node/643430#comment-2339614 the rendering of the chosen panel with the node as the "context" ?

Thanks a lot for any pointers or hints, I can do my homework and dig into some examples and code but feel like I need some indications about were to look because right now I feel overwhelmed by all the concepts and can't do a proper analysis of what is happening internally.

Thanks a lot for your time.

This would require a custom style plugin to do this. You might be able to get away with just doing theming on the basic 'node' row style plugin and having it call to display a mini panel instead of the basic node_view(), though this might be a little bit tricky if you aren't familiar with the Panels API.

Thanks a lot Merlin.

At least I was not crazy to not figure it out "right away".

I am willing to learn, so if you say it is a view style plug-in I know where to start looking, I suppose it is not that easy since there a lots of layout issues potentially but I will try to investigate a bit for instance by looking into the bonus_views module.

Any hints or previous experience is welcomed :)

I could achieve something close to the look I want with styling or a fixed panel page in my case but I hate to do layout in the theme or to limit the number of results arbitrarily. :)

thanks a lot again for your answer and the time and code given to the community.
