Panels 3 as tab content

Hi Mandrake,
looking into how Quick Tabs could work with Panels is definitely on my to do list - but first I need to familiarise myself with Panels ;-) Thanks for the feature request.

Katherine

subscibing!!! nice work! I'm using the recommended version for D6.
Is the developped version work with Panels 2?

Acually, Quicktabs don't appear in panel content settings with the recommanded version.

Hi Junro,

> Acually, Quicktabs don't appear in panel content settings with the recommanded version.

I'm using quicktabs 5.x-1.4 inside panels: Panel page -> block -> quicktabs. The panel consists of a view at the top, then an quicktabs block with three tabs, and lastly another set of block at the bottom. Quicktabs are working almost fine in this setup, except that clicking on a tab jumps at top the panels page, and the user has to scroll down the page every time he/she clicks on a tab. However, you have to to configure a quicktabs block which will be listed at the panels content settings at "Contributed blocks".

Good luck!

Moving new features to 3.x version

are there examples of this actually working with panels 3 yet? I would love to know and help test.

no solution for this yet

there are at least two types of content when talking about panels: the whole panel and the panel pane (this is a new views display type).

I only checked the panel pane. The base of the solution would be similar to panels_views_panes_render() function in the panels_views.module file. But QT does not know anything about context and panel arguments, so QT does not support these special types of arguments for the view. Even the view_embed_view() function does not support these arguments, although it is the basic function to render a view..

Subscribing, this would be really nice to have.

Very useful module. Thanks.

It would be great to see Quick Tabs be Context aware when used with panels. QT currently allows for views to provide content for tabs, but what would make this integration far richer would be if QT allowed arguments to be passed to view generated tabs via context, not just from the url — similar to how a view content pane display functions when used with panels.

Subscribing!

Good work on the UI too. Great! I hope all future drupal UI looks like this. Just simply flawless!

Thanks

I'll +1 this. all the other tab modules for panels are pretty sad.

Since quick tabs uses blocks and mini panels produce blocks why not use mini panels?

@nevets: That works, sorta, but it's a bit of a pain and it won't work if you use the ajax option on the tabs.

Michelle

Just set up your Quicktab with what you need. Mine's a combo of views and blocks.

Look for your new QT block under Miscellaneous when you go to add it to a region in Panels.

@theosoft: That's the exact opposite of what we're wanting. :)

Michelle

I know what you're wanting, but this works in the meantime. At least for me.

Since Panels can bring in blocks and views and QT can also bring in Blocks and Views, why not put the Blocks and Views into the QT in the meantime and then bring the block into Panels. It accomplishes the same thing.

But I do understand the need to go to one place to do it.

That being said, I've found QT easy to setup. Now, for custom styling, I'm having issues. More on that in another issue. :D

@theosoft: There is no way to make a complex layout in Panels and pull it into QT other than by making a mini-panel, which doesn't work with ajax'd tabs. So, no, it doesn't accomplish the same thing.

What you said is making a QT block and pulling it into Panels, which works fine. What we want is to make a Panel and pull it into QT.

Michelle

In Panels we already have modules that provide tabs: http://drupal.org/project/panels_tabs and http://drupal.org/project/entablificate
Problem is they don't support AJAX tabs. Neither Panels (afaik). So wouldn't it make more sense implement AJAX loading of content in Panels itself rather than support Panels in Quicktabs ?

The new 'Inplace Editor' (IPE) for panels could possibly give a way to load a pane through ajax since it does just that after you save changes.

any idea when we are going have this feature in QT or not at all ? if we can put panel pages into QT, then the QT become huge useful when user working on the panel page content. Thanks

Any progress with this? I see that this thread started back in 2008.... but there has not been many updates for quite a few months now. Is anyone still working on this feature? After all, it would be an amazing feature to have!

I'm already able to add mini panels in the latest D7 Alpha release

Hi!

I just committed a little custom module to my sandbox which turns Quicktabs blocks into their own Panels' content_type and allows you to pass Panels' contexts/arguments to the tabs that are Views.

EDIT: only tested in D6 ;)

@krlucas, this rocks!!! You rock! @krlucas++

I don't know about 6.x... but in 7.x, the mini panels + ajax is working.

Closing this out as there won't be any work done on this in the Quicktabs module.

Is in Drupal 7 http://drupal.org/project/panels_tabs the best alternative? Or are other modules better in this perspective?
Greetings, Martijn

I commented on this in #44, but back in June you could already add mini panels to quicktabs. While it's not a full blown panel, it may help some folks out to know this.

Let me explain the situation here:

1. I created a node type.
2. I themed the node type with panels.
3. I created a view to display the node "Full Node" mode (So when I click on a tab, full node opens)
4. I created a QT block to display the node.
5. I put the block in a region.

Now here comes the problem. I themed the node with panels, but under QT, node appears as drupal default. What can I do about it?

I am closing this issue, since it's for a Drupal version no longer supported.
