At the moment of this question, I am using:
- Drupal 8.1.3
- Panels 8.x-3.0-beta4
- Page Manager 8.x-1.0-alpha23
- Layout plugin 8.x-1.0-alpha22
I am having difficulties replicating what was easy with Drupal 7, and I am not sure if the reason is simply that the ports of Panels and Page Manager are still incomplete, or that the approach has changed and I am not getting it.
In Drupal 7, you could create panels, and insert content into panes:
You could really add anything into a pane.
In Drupal 8, it looks like I can only add blocks:
What I want to achieve is being able to override a basic page (I'm overriding /node/{node}
), and for example have a simple 1-column layout to display:
<node title>
<block 1>
<node body>
<block 2>
It could be more complex than that of course.
So, back to my question: is it just a matter of waiting for a complete port of Panels, or am I missing something?
