Hi all,

I'm finally back from being away. :-)

Here is a patch for creating 'self-powered' maps. It works for both paths and blocks. A 'to-do' item is to have it provide panes.

Please review and if it looks good I will commit.

Hey @phayes! It's good to have you back. I hope your holidays were relaxing. :)

Anyway. I like this, but there are a couple concerns I have initially:

1) What about access? The main benefit about utilizing Views is that it has a mechanism to determine access to a page or block.
2) Does this affect how arguments and exposed filters work for maps?

The last submitted patch, self_powered.patch, failed testing.

This is completed in D7, with the boxes plugin. Backports accepted, otherwise closing.

I've added support for ctools content-type here: [#ae37629] . With the addition of ctools content-type we are covering a lot more ground than just with boxes (although that too is good).
