Panels Template Identifier

By quercus020 on 4 Feb 2010 at 09:51 UTC

Hi there.
I have created a panel and would like to create a template for each pane. Each pane just simply shows one node. In the Panels content settings it is possible to define a 'Template identifier' e.g node-panel-IDENTIFIER.tpl.php.
Ive tried this but it just won't work for me.
My thinking! Replace word IDENTIFIER with chosen identifier (eg. frontbanner). Write node-panel-frontbanner.tpl.php or just frontbanner (neither work) in available textarea.
Save panels.
Create node-panel-frontbanner.tpl.php and save in theme folder.
Clear cache. Voila!
But the template just won't catch

What am I doing wrong?

This is what is stated in the panels content pane settings:-

"This identifier will be added as a template suggestion to display this node: node-panel-IDENTIFIER.tpl.php."

And that is exactly what I want. Sounds easy eh..but this is killing me

Same here

Panels Template Identifier

The help text for Panels is a bit confusing/miss labeled. You would expect to enter: node-panel-IDENTIFIER.tpl.php into the Template Identifier field (e.g. node-panel-mypanel.tpl.php) in order for it to be recognized as a template suggestion.

...What you ACTUALLY have to do, is just enter the IDENTIFIER and than name your template file accordingly. So...

Template Identifier: mypanel
/themes/mytheme: node-panel-mypanel.tpl.php

i.e. name the template file accordingly, but just enter the identifier name in the panels field.

Hope that helps!
