This is an article centered on building website looks with Panels. We will create a custom front page for a website and a node edit form with a Panel. We will also see the process of generating a node override within Panels and take a look at Mini panels.
We will now create a recipe with Views and Panels to make a custom front page.
We will need to install Views as the module, if not done already. As the Views and Panels projects are both led by Earl Miles (merlinofchaos), the UIs are very similar. We will not discuss Views in detail as it is out of the scope of the article. To use this recipe, a basic knowledge of Views is required.
We will use our recipe of fl exible layout as our start for this recipe. To make a better layout and a custom website, I recommend using adaptive themes (http://adaptivethemes.com/). Here, in this recipe, I have used that theme. The adaptive theme is a starter theme and it includes several custom panels. There is also a built-in support for skins, which helps to make theming a lot easier. We will be using adaptive themes in this recipe for demonstration and will change our administration view from Garland to adaptive theme.
The adaptive themes add extra layouts as shown in the following screenshot.
In this recipe, we implemented Panel panes with views and blocks to make a separate custom page and separate display for the existing content in the website.
