I upgraded from panels 3.2 to 3.7 and ctools 1.2 to 1.7, and most of the custom content in my panels simply said n/a. I am unable to edit the n/a content, any attempt to add new content does not save. I am currently using panels 3.5 and ctools 1.6, and the problems are gone, but if I try install ctools 1.7 they return. So I assume it is something with interaction between panels and ctools 1.7?

Can you export a small panel showing this result? The export from 3.5 should be okay.

The N/A is what check_markup() prints when it gets NULL for the content. That indicates that somehow the content is not being discovered properly. An export might help me determine why this is, or so I can hope.

(Please move this issue back to active when you've attached an export. Also, the smaller the page the better =)

I also have this annoying and painful error. After I add a node content to a panel pane or mini panel and the try to add anything to the content of the pane. I use CKeditor profile of WYSIWYG. When I click edit the edit page opens with editor and after adding the content/image I click save then either the edit page reappears with all the changes lost or I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method InsertQuery_mysql::condition() in /var/www/vhosts/ecoms.org.uk/httpdocs/ecomstest/sites/all/modules/panels/panels_node/panels_node.module on line 305

I don't understand. You need information regarding my installation I will try to provide. I am not good at codes or an expert technical person but I will try my best with the help of instructions. This problem has stalled my website development.

By the way I am using drupal 7 beta2 and panels 7.x-3.x-dev.

Sorry again. Also- stylizer is not saving any setting for pane and is saving selected settings for region. The same is for preview - after changing colours the preview does not appear in pane settings. Additionally I cannot even initiate custom style in change style dialogue - there is a list of errors.

Any issues for Drupal 7.x should be separate, as those are likely unrelated. It sounds like this issue is unrelated to what you mentioned.

Can you please post a separate issue?

Hi, apologies for the late response I was sort of side tracked and now that the 3.8 update is here I find myself returning to this post. I have upgraded my test site to 3.8 and the problem persists. I have made two exports of the same panel, one from 3.5 and the other from 3.8. Unfortunately they are a little long, and so as to not clutter up this page I have made them available for download. I hope that this is not too much of an inconvenience? I briefly compared them and I do see a few differences in the way they exported. They are available on,
http://www.vuma.ac.za/drupal/3.5.txt and http://www.vuma.ac.za/drupal/3.8.txt

Regards
James

This happened to me too, and it occurred because there was a missing/deleted block remaining from one that I had deleted from the block list.
I updated and saved the panel page, then went back to it and saw the deleted/missing block. I deleted it and the n/a disappeared. Also, when trying to 'configure the block' it threw a fatal error from line 335 of the block module.
Not sure if this helps but maybe someone can recreate the issue?

I am not sure, the page is working normally at the moment but when I try and upgrade the N/A appears, so I am not sure the block could be deleted during the upgrade process.

I am not sure if this could point us in the right direction or not but perhaps it could add to the elimination of possible causes. I am currently removing "/drupal" from all the content and such from our website. When running this sql statement I noticed that the content areas in the panels started to show "N/A".

update panels_pane
set configuration =replace(configuration,'drupal/','');

I am starting to think that perhaps there is either something wrong with my data stored in the tables, or perhaps there is a structure problem with my tables. Apart from installing a fresh drupal installation and checking all the tables, is there anything you can point me to that I could use to determine where the problems could lie?

Ok definitely not my brightest moment, I noticed that there is a length inside the configuration column and since I ran the script it obviously affected the length of the string. Could this also be an issue when upgrading to panels 3.7 or higher?

It seems that this happens when new custom content is added into the panels. On a separate site when upgrading from panels 3.2 to 3.9 the same N/A problem occurred again. I then used the same database and reinstalled the older versions and the content returned. So the data is not missing from the table but must be in a different format to what the newer versions expect? I am going to try and upgrade incrementally and see what happens.

Not sure if this helps, but using panels 3.2 only ctools upto 1.6 works, either 1.7 or 1.8 then causes the N/A to appear.

ace911, I'm a bit confused, are you saying that you have manually manipulated the database? It's hardly strange that things break if that's the case, and there's not much we can do about that.

If not, you will need to post step by step instructions for how to reproduce the problem, or it's virtually impossible to help you.
