CHANGES DURING D6 UPDATE TO PANELS 3 ALL PLUGINS =========== Function to advertise directory for plugins: hook_ctools_plugin_directory($module, $plugin) LAYOUTS ======= All layouts should use templates 'icon' now uses the defined path and should no longer have path built in. 'css' now uses defined path and should no longer have path built in. DOCUMENTATION NOTE: You can just copy any layout css file directly to your theme. It should no longer be in theme/layouts directory. administrative view of a layout can now have its own theme function. CONTENT TYPES ============= panels_node_legacy module renamed to panels_node_content.module -- NEED UPDATE TO RENAME IN SYSTEM TABLE. 'title callback' now has $subtype as the first argument. 'render' now has $subtype as the first argument. 'content_types' now 'content types'. New 'content type' to fetch information a single content type so we don't have to load all of them all the time. New 'defaults' array in either the type or subtype declaration to provide defaults for the add form. CONTEXTS ======== Function signature on submit and validate handlers now: ($form, &$form_values, &$form_state) Moved to CTOOLS RELATIONSHIPS ======== Function signature on submit and validate handlers now: ($form, &$form_values, &$form_state) Moved to CTOOLS ARGUMENTS ======== Function signature on submit and validate handlers now: ($form, &$form_values, &$form_state) Moved to CTOOLS When argument plugins fail to load a context at runtime, they must now return error codes instead of FALSE or NULL (previously the practice). The error codes, and their respective documentation, can be found at the top of panels.module. HANDLERS ======== Upgrading task handlers from Panels 6.x-3.12 or older to Panels 3.x-3.13 and newer: - You must specify a storage type for any panels display using your custom task handler. For examples, see panels_update_7306. - When creating whatever stores the panel, a storage id and storage type must be defined. See panels_mini.module for examples inside panels_mini_save and panels_mini_panels_cache_get. - A display access plugin must be defined. See panels_mini/plugins/panels_storage/panels_mini.inc for an example plugin.
