Profile fields - panel pane

Tutorial is a user reguest. This tutorial is about how you can display the Profile Categories within the User Profile Panel Template. Advanced Profile Kit and the modules that the APK is recommending is activated to add more functionality. Using the Advanced Profile Kit is not required to follow this tutorial.

If certain fields from the Profile category should be diplayed you can do this by using views and add the view to the panel pane instead of the Profile Category.

Panels

Recent posts on profile page

If you're thinking of creating a "social network" or a site where users can create content the views module is a must. You certainly want the users to have a profile page and most likely you want to customize the content on that profile page. In this tutorial I am using Panels 3, views and the tracker module so that users visiting a profile can see the content the user have created.

First I'm gonna activate the tracker module and then enable the tracker-view that comes with the views module.

Views

Rounded Corners

Rounded corners with CSS 2 can sometimes be a painful job. Jquery has a nice plugin called JQery corner http://www.malsup.com/jquery/corner/. With this module you can save plenty of time coding you're css. The drupal module comes with a configuration panel and it's pretty easy to style you're div's and classes.

You'll need jQueru UI http://drupal.org/project/jquery_ui to make this module work.

Og panels - default panel page for groups

Organic groups is a well used drupal module. I have been a fan of it for a long time and I am currently working with the module on one of my biggest projects so far. The panels module is also a very popular module. Panels 3 is a stable version that you may use on production sites. Organic groups and panels together is a powerful combination. There is a dev-version of a module that gives you the oppertunity to tell a group that is shall have a default panel layout (withe predefined content set up by admin), a great feature that I think will be popular.

This tutorial is a step by step lesson on how to configure the og_panels module. Click on images to view them in full size.

Panels

Align thumbnails inline

Using views you can list out content and present it the way you want it to. I had a set of thumnails that I wanted to be listed horizontally, this was not easy and I had to use css to manage it.

Install a drupal module

If you need extra functionality within youre website you could download almost anything from the module section at drupal.org. There are thousands of modules and they are all free (I think). If you have read the install drupal tutorial on this site you navigated through the sites folder within youre drupal installation. Inside this folder there are two folders. All and default, the "all" folder will be youre best friend if you like drupal.

To install a module you have to download it from drupal.org, extract it and copy it to youre drupal installation.
