# $Id$ PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FILE CONTAINS VERY OUTDATED INFORMATION, KEPT ONLY FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES. For the current plans related to Panels2, you should consult the groups.drupal.org Panels group: http://groups.drupal.org/panels Here's a rough sketch of the work plan shortly prior to the 5.x-2.0-beta4 release: 5.x-beta3 ==> beta4 ==> beta5 ==> RC1 ==> RCs... ==> 5.x RELEASE!! ==> 5.x-2.1 | 6.x port ==> 6.x RCs... ==> 6.x RELEASE!! ==> 6.x-2.1 | 6.x-3.x-ALPHA ==> (FUTURE OF PANELS) ========================================================== TODO: X = DONE o = TODO - = Skipped/postponed ajax/js o remove panels_hidden, use only javascript o Remove 'panels_set' and use the broken up drupal_get_form functions rather than drupal_get_form for our multi-step stuff. X Add permission checking to all the ajax functions o Break up panels_ajax into separate entry areas [mostly done] o ensure complete degradability X Make sure the icons on the 'change layout' page are clickable X Loading animation for panels-modal X Make the titlebar outside of the overflow in the modal o Change show/hide to use AJAX. X Write my own drag & drop modules X panels node X mini-panel o panels-profile o panels-dashboard-compat (upgrade all the old dashboard installs) panels common o update settings to use categories like the 'add content' popup now does. o Clean up and better document this code panels page X panels page 'default' panels X allow panel-page to use $arg/$node/$node-type/$user substitution like Views X allow panel-page to get a context; allow modules to provide this context. X allow panel-page to do menu item & tab like Views. X provide 'edit' tab for panels pages X allow setting to not display blocks o Clone panels page mini panels X Allow mini panels to require an argument (and thus be just panel content) content types - Allow creating new custom blocks. X Get all 'block' settings into blocks. X Remove all calls to the 'admin' callback X Make panels_get_content_type() like using for layout X Translate views to new content format X Translate node to new content format X Translate custom to new content format X Allow content types to be aware of panel context. X Allow content types to include or exclude themselves based upon context. X Figure out a way for blocks to easily have per-block icons X sort blocks in content type list X sort views in content type list X add weight so custom and node will float up X make forms fit a bit better X Allow display to have 'arguments' that can be passed on to Views more fluidly X give views.inc setting to NOT use arguments. X unify title overriding. X node_content type X taxonomy term types o user types o views context sensitive conversions layouts X Allow each layout to have settings X Create a flexible layout where you can quickly create arbitrary layouts X Fix the div div problem in all layouts icons X Change configure icon X Change remove pane icon X Find add content icon X Create icons for content types Flexible layout o Allow fixed width sidebars o Use a slider to control widths Styles: o Convert DND to a style X Rounded corners style Arguments: X taxonomy argument X user argument panels API X Provide method to directly edit/configure an individual content block if viewer has permissions X Provide method to control pane visibility. Make sure this is controllable from the admin so that not all users can get to it. X Change add content to be per panel X Make Cancel actually cancel X Wrap calls to existing callbacks X Make a function to simply get the IDs of all content-types X Allow panels_edit_display to restrict available content to a preprepared list X Use cache instead of putting everything in $_SESSION X create panels_render_display() (or panels_display_render) X Allow API to accept context X Allow API to accept content X Allow API to accept arguments General: o CSS class/id name cleanup and unification. o Make sure core blocks that require context are labelled as such. Documentation o Creating new panel modules that use the API o Creating new content types o Creating new layouts o Creating new styles o Creating new arguments o Themeing panels o Doing interesting things with Panels
