Just added a slider to a panel in Panels 3, and it doesn't display properly - I might be missing something, or this could be a bug (in Sider or Panels).

Putting a slider inside a panel is out of the scope of the project. For that usage, there are other modules available.

I am using a slider node in a Panels 3 panel and am not having any issues at all,

Hey dougzilla,

I am using Slider (http://drupal.org/project/slider) with panels 3 and the result is a list of the nodes in the slider rather than the actual slider. I have attached the screen shot so you can see it.

The slider node looks fine on it's own, could you please share you how you got yours to work.

Thanks,

Works well in panels 3, I added content "existing node" to the pane.

:-)

I wonder what I am missing! This may be an issue with Slider. when I preview the slider node in edit mode, it looks like the list (as in the panel) but when i go to the node it looks proper, the slide with the content.

I followed the instructions on the http://drupal.org/project/slider and got the slider to work on it own. Then I dropped the sucker into a panel and it worked without any special effort on my part.
The beauty of the slider is that it is a node (that calls up other nodes). Panels 3 thinks it just a plain old node.

There might be some css issues now that I think about it. When you get the slider in place take a look at it in Firebug and see what is going on. I remember it being not too much of a big deal to modify.

I do not know what to say other than it worked right out of the box.
The code is very robust. I modified the css heavily to make background images for the links.

The attachment is what I have mine looking like.

Hey, guys, I trying to put the slider into the panel, and followed the above instructions, but still can not get success, and the slider in the panel result's just a list page not the slide page, Can someone give the details instructions how to success put the slider into the panel?

Or put the slider into panel just won't work? I believe we hope there have a solution make works.

check you're content type and manage fields tab, you should choose one of the slider options within display options (tabs below or above).

I also recommend using the dev verison of this module.

Why use the dev version? I have not played with it yet.

release notes : "Version 2 of the Slider will change a couple of fundamental mechanisms"

I thought it was easier to set up and use. :)

Is it hard to transition?
I have done some heavy css modifications on mine and I would hate to see it go Kablooyy

It works fine if you use the v2 dev version.

For me it didn't work with the 1.x version either.

@dougzilla no new css stuff needed. I just installed the new module, changed some settings at Display Fields at Content Type (set both teaser and full node display type to Slider (tabs below)), and it worked.

Excellent, I look forward to playng with it.
I put in a fair bit f time monkeying with this and had a pretty elegant slider happening.
Client changed their mind and scrapped it. Oh well, the client is always right I suppose. :>

I don't have "Slider (tabs below)" as one of the options uner Display Fields for the Slider content type. I can't get this to work in panels either.
