Drupal notes

How to create a panel:

1. Create a Menu
  • Administer -> Menus -> Add Menu
  • Fill out all fields
  • Click save
2. Enable the menu
The newly created menu will then be assigned as a new block.
  • Administer -> Blocks
  • Under disabled category, change the region of the new block (the same name as the newly created menu), by simply picking an option from the drop down list.
  • Click Save Block
Don't expect for it to directly display in the assigned region. You still have to assign contents (pages/story) as child for that block.

3. Adding child contents
  • Click Create content
  • Choose either page or story
  • Assign a title in the Title field (all lower-case, replace spaces with hyphen)
  • Click Menu settings to bring necessary fields
  • Assign a Menu link title
  • Select the newly created block from the list of Parent Items
  • The body is optional. You may type some descriptions if you want.
  • Click Save
Now the newly created panel will appear in the region that you specified.
