Ok, I've been at this for days now and I really am about to give up.

I tried what I'm trying first with the default 'frontpage' view. Now I'm working with a fresh new view of type "node".

The basic background / platform:
D 6.20
Views 6.x-2.12
Panels 6.x-3.9
Ctools 6.x-1.8
CCK 6.x-2.9
Image 6.x-1.9

So I've set up a content type which has the node title (which will be used as a views argument to select which node(s) get displayed.
The node body is disabled but I have six text fields, six text areas and 1 image (provided by
Zen 6.x-2.0 sub-theme / Garland.

So I have set up a view (of type "node") and have configured the default display so that the nodes are displayed unformatted in the live preview in Views UI.
I have then added a "Content Pane" display to the view and have over-ridden some settings with the intention of sending the results to Panels for eventual display.

In the Content Pane display I've set 'style' to 'unformatted" and 'row style' to 'panel fields'
In the panel fields settings dialogue I've chosen my panels layout and I've mapped all the fields I'm using in the view to the relevant content panes.

Everything seems good so far however the first sign of trouble is that no content shows in the live preview area when I select the Content pane display.

So no on to the Panels dashboard. I've told panels just to go ahead and allow all view to be used for content, even though I have my Content Pane / panel fields enabled view ready to go. I've gone ahead and selected everything under /admin/build/panels/settings/panel-page just to be sure I don't miss anything.

I've created a new panel page which is set to be my homepage and has a path, settings indicate it should be readily accessible and I've gone and populated the layout with content from the view.

I go to the URL and there's no content. All the structure is there, all the mark-up is there. As I mouse around the whitespace the hover edit links for views show up where each of the chunks of info should be.
If I alllow and tell panels to override the title for each bit of content, the page will dsiplay the title as provided by Panels but still no content.

I'm at my wits-end! What am I missing?

Please help!

Sorry that should have read ". . . and 1 image (provided by the image module)."

"Zen 6.x-2.0 sub-theme / Garland." should have been included with the list describing the basic set up.
Sorry for the confusion. . .

Hmm. That's a difficult one. It does sound like your problems are in the view. Can you attach a view export? And, an export of the front page? Seeing the whole setup might help me understand a little better here.

Hi Merlin, thanks for getting back to me when you say an "export of the front page" are you asking for the html source code from the page as generated from the panels / views setup?

Also, I failed to mention that the whole thing is a fresh drupal instal, there is no content, except my test node, attached image file, minimal other modules and only the admin user. . .

Also, also, I have made no changes to the default CSS or templates for the zen sub-theme (as generated by zenophile module) but I don't think my issue is to do with CSS or templating since I have the same prob using Garland. . .

2 text files attached below, hope this helps. . .
Also I'd be happy to provide you a log in via email if that would made your diagnostics easier.
You help is hugely appreciated!

No, there should be a link on the page manager page to export it. Unless it's a panel node, in which case there's no export.

Likewise, there's an export link on the view. That one will always be there.

Got it! Both views and panels exports attached. . . above!

I have the same problem as well. When I choose Row type as field the view is working perfectly fine but as soon as I make the row type to panels nothing is showing up. I am using the mix and match fusion theme.

Sorry you've been kept waiting like this. Time is limited for us volunteers I'm afraid.

So there's a problem with the View export, in that there are a lot of fields being used that I don't have access to. Can this problem be reproduced with a much simpler view, such as one just listing node titles or so?
Testing that would be a large step in debugging that.

yes, even with just titles nothing comes up.

That's "good", can you then export your simpler settings then?

I exported a test view containing the list of all user names and edit link to their profiles.

$view = new view; $view->name = 'users'; $view->description = 'list of all users'; $view->tag = ''; $view->base_table = 'users'; $view->core = 6; $view->api_version = '2'; $view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */ $handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default'); $handler->override_option('fields', array( 'name' => array( 'label' => 'Name', 'alter' => array( 'alter_text' => 0, 'text' => '', 'make_link' => 0, 'path' => '', 'absolute' => 0, 'link_class' => '', 'alt' => '', 'rel' => '', 'prefix' => '', 'suffix' => '', 'target' => '', 'help' => '', 'trim' => 0, 'max_length' => '', 'word_boundary' => 1, 'ellipsis' => 1, 'html' => 0, 'strip_tags' => 0, ), 'empty' => '', 'hide_empty' => 0, 'empty_zero' => 0, 'hide_alter_empty' => 1, 'link_to_user' => 0, 'overwrite_anonymous' => 0, 'anonymous_text' => '', 'exclude' => 0, 'id' => 'name', 'table' => 'users', 'field' => 'name', 'relationship' => 'none', ), 'edit_node' => array( 'label' => 'Edit link', 'alter' => array( 'alter_text' => 0, 'text' => '', 'make_link' => 0, 'path' => '', 'absolute' => 0, 'link_class' => '', 'alt' => '', 'rel' => '', 'prefix' => '', 'suffix' => '', 'target' => '', 'help' => '', 'trim' => 0, 'max_length' => '', 'word_boundary' => 1, 'ellipsis' => 1, 'html' => 0, 'strip_tags' => 0, ), 'empty' => '', 'hide_empty' => 0, 'empty_zero' => 0, 'hide_alter_empty' => 1, 'text' => '', 'exclude' => 0, 'id' => 'edit_node', 'table' => 'users', 'field' => 'edit_node', 'relationship' => 'none', ), )); $handler->override_option('access', array( 'type' => 'none', )); $handler->override_option('cache', array( 'type' => 'none', )); $handler->override_option('row_plugin', 'panels_fields'); $handler->override_option('row_options', array( 'inline' => array(), 'separator' => '', 'hide_empty' => 0, 'layout' => 'twocol', 'change' => 'Change', 'regions' => array( 'name' => 'left', 'edit_node' => 'right', ), ));
