Create Custom Pane Programmatically For Panels in Drupal 7

This document provides code examples for creating a custom content pane programmatically for Panels in Drupal 7. It includes adding a Panels dependency to the module info file, implementing a plugin directory hook, creating a plugin file with pane configuration and callbacks for administrative title, info, editing the content type form and rendering node content. The pane lets the user pick a node and display it on the panel.

Create custom pane programmatically for Panels in Drupal 7


This shows code examples of what I had to do to create custom pane programmatically for Panels in Drupal 7. In this example I create new pane where you can pick your node and display it.

HOOK.info
I added panels dependency to my .info file.
1. dependencies[] = panels

HOOK.m odule plugin directory


Add ctools plugin directory hook. Also create a folder called "plugins" to your module file. In plugins directory create a folder called "content_types".
1. /**
2. * Implements hook_ctools_plugin_directory().
3. */
4. function HOOK_ctools_plugin_directory($module, $plugin) {
5.
if (($module == 'ctools' || $module == 'panels') && !empty($plugin)) {
6.
return 'plugins/' . $plugin;
7.
}
8. }

PANE.inc plugin file


Create a file that will be your plugin in plugins/content_types directory.
