Create tutorials for Panels 2 #115

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Task description:
Panels 2 is a new module still under development that allows even
non-developers to very easily style their page, add blocks, shift nodes,
place views – and all through a slick UI. This one is definitely going to
change the way people will react to the word 'theme', as PHP knowledge is
not needed – it can help – but it's not needed.

The tutorials should give a newbie to Panels an understanding what it does
and how to do it, although it shouldn't approach people who are complete
newbies in Drupal (i.e. not needed to explain what node is).

A good tutorial is consisted of text and images that will accompany it.
Images should make sure there isn't to much information, and if needed
focus the reader through clear markings. The text should be short enough
not to be boring, but it's intended to people not robots, so please – spice
it up a bit.

Expected work:
There should be 4 tutorials (3 new and editing an existing one).
Tutorials topics should be:
1. Creating an 'about us' – include a custom content and a block with who's
online and latest comments
2. Creating a mini panel – Create a mini panel that shows a View and passes
an argument to it. This will also include an export of the View. (Note that
this tutorial should use the 'context' system, as that is the single most
important concept to demonstrate to users. You can create a context and a
mini panel which uses the context to demonstrate this.)
3. Overriding the node view - Creating 'own display' in the context tab for
Story and one for page, i.e. different panel for different content types.
4. Overriding the node edit – Start from http://drupal.org/node/201916 and
improve it. (It is missing some images mostly.)

Every tutorial should have 2-5 images.
Every tutorial should have an export of the panels so that readers can copy
and import.
Task will be completed by creating the appropriate book pages on the
drupal.org site.

Resources:
Panels 2 page - http://drupal.org/project/panels
Download Panels 2 (alpha 14) - http://drupal.org/node/194291
Panels 2 Dev version (We should keep an eye on it, to see Merlin didn't
change the layout, so images will still fit) - http://drupal.org/node/128199
Initial tutorial, which misses some images - http://drupal.org/node/201916

Primary contact/Owner:
Amitai (Amitaibu) - http://drupal.org/user/57511

Estimated time:
4 days

NOTE that all work needs to be posted to the Drupal issue at
http://drupal.org/node/202042.

Sorry, hadn't had much time to work on it, however a rough draft should be

Last time I checked, I was having problems getting MAMP and Drupal set up. I'll 
try again tomorrow (in all 
likelihood, the task will be drafted by the end of tomorrow), if I have any 
problems, is there someone who I can 
get in touch with? The other tasks that I've done haven't required MAMP/Drupal 
(I'm stepping up).

hi birdmax35,
Feel free to contact me via email amitaibu at gmail dot com.

Regarding MAMP, try this  - http://drupal.org/node/114493

Okay, thanks very much! That sounds like the problem I was having.

That link is for WAMP. You may also want to check out the handbook page for MAMP
(http://drupal.org/node/66187) as well as a video 
(http://drupal.org/node/159534).

The end of that tutorial is a general problem though, the whole mail thing. That
video you made about MAMP was great, though, Addison.

Drupal is running on my local machine! Thanks guys.

I am about to install Panels 2 and start playing with it (I've never used Panels
before in my life, which is why I signed up for this task). When I get to 
writing the
documentation required for this task, should I use the guidelines for creating 
book
pages? What format should I create them in? The page I am currently looking at 
for
guidlines is:

http://drupal.org/node/339

Never mind the handbook questions, I've just sent a couple of detailed 
questions to
Amitai.

Well, I've got parts #1 and #4 up, although they are subject to change.

I still have to figure out #2 and #3, and write those tutorials.

You can find what I've got below:

marking for review

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Still working on it, though. The other half should be done sooner than later.

I've just finished the third tutorial, which is at: 
http://drupal.org/node/206185

Could I have an extra day on part #2? That's the hardest one, and I still have 
to do
the tutorial after I get it. And I can't start until Saturday night or Sunday.

Thanks guys, for your support, again. Especially everybody on #drupal-views.

I'll extend the deadline through the weekend for you.  Just keep us posted with 
your
progress.

be).

There is sufficient positive review to close this task, imo. Can someone do 
that, please?

For Google GHOP Task Reviewers:

I didn't realize that you needed to upload the actual work of the task, so here 
it
is, attached. Apologies if they don't look right, that's what happens when you
download html pages :)

There are four HTML pages in the zip, with the images for each page.
