Panels is a very flexible module, you can add almost anything to regions of your layout. Almost but not everything, until now, it was very difficult to add files, links, and images to panes. This module started as a way to add CCK fields to panes, but it was hard, so instead, I decided to use the FAPI and imitate some of the most popular fields. Currently, you can add Files, Images, Links, Text and soon Embedded Videos to panes.

It mimics CCK Fields but they are not CCK fields, Views won't be aware of them, and you can't extend or configure the fields you want to add.

Important
I've just fixed a critical bug. Please read #885290: Files are saved as FILE_STATUS_TEMPORARY and Cron deletes them

Dependencies

• This module is dependent on Ctools and it will only be useful with Panels.
• If you want to add Embedded Video you'll need to install Video Filter. Any bugs with this module should be reported to Video Filter and not here.
• Imagecache is no longer a dependency, but it is highly recommended.

Know bugs:

• Files do not get removed if a pane containing a file or image is removed

New features in 1.0

Forena is database report writing software built on the Drupal platform. Forena is built of the idea that if you can write the SQL necessary to get the data out of a database, it should take very little work to get that data out on the web. It is designed to leverage knowledge of HTML, CSS, SQL and Java Script to help you create rich interactive web reports.

Note: Before trying out forena make sure you have private file systems properly configured. It doesn't need to be set as the default delivery method, but it does need to be configured.

Drupal 8 Version

Work on the Drupal 8 Version is in progress! I will release an early alpha once the base reporting engine is functional with unit test coverage before beginning work on the WYSIWYG reporting interface.

Features

The current version allows you to create reports using SQL from Drupal, or using data stored in XML files.

It comes bundled with a couple of sample reports reports that will both demonstrate how reports are created, and provide useful information on your existing Drupal site.

Some key features include:

• Create custom reports from your Drupal database.
• Create reports against PDO supported database (SQLite, MySQL, MS SQL, etc).
• Create reports against any Oracle database.
• Create charts in SVG format.
• Export data to CSV, EXCEL or XML versions of reports.
• Create and edit HTML reports using a simple web UI (includes WYSIWYG editor support).

CCK Select Other introduces an alternative select list widget that provides a user with either a select list or text input.

Drupal 8

A Panels contributed module by Fox.

Important: Development of this module is halted until either:

1. The WYSIWYG module no longer causes this major usability regression: #735624: Enabling one button removes default editor toolbar.
2. Another WYSIWYG editor module provides an API that can be accessed by this module.

Please see comment #5 of #781846: Only for CKEeditor with WYSIWYG module? for more details. As of July 2011, neither standard has been met.

This module's intent is to allow users of the WYSIWYG module and the GeSHi Filter for syntax highlighting module to embed code through CKEditor without it being mangled. It is based on the original work of Peter Petrik.

Dependencies

• WYSIWYG 2.x-dev module with CKEditor installed (6.x-2.0 does not support CKEditor)
• GeSHi Filter for syntax highlighting module

GeSHi filter hack

You must hack a GeSHi filter file. I'm talking about the code you download separately form the Drupal GeSHi module.
