How do I get content to display using Views and Panels?

Question

I've created a custom view to display two different content types and now want to override the node display with this new view. I tried using this tutorial to do so with Panels, but I always get no content. Not a completely white screen, just a title and nothing beneath it. I am able to add other content using Panels directly, so I think it must be a problem with the way Views and Panels are interfacing. Any idea what I need to do to fix this?

I have tried: - changing the output format of the view to 'Panel Fields' (as opposed to 'Content'). - clearing and re-clearing my browser's cache.

I'm using Drupal 7.12, Chaos Tools 7.x-1.0-rc2, Panels 7.x-3.2 and Views 7.x-3.3

Answer 1

For Views to work in panels, you should create a Content Pane in your view.

You will likely be using a contextual filter if it's a node / user / taxonomy view so add it, and check provide default: content id from url (for a node).

Then in the Pane Settings section, click Argument Input. You will see your contextual filter listed. Choose "From Context", "Content ID".

Your view should now work as expected.

Answer 2

Perhaps your view is applying a filter that is filtering out all the content. Check to make sure that the View you have set up has the right filter criteria.

Answer 3

Create your content type views as block just enabled the block in panels dsiplay wherever you want
