Details

Learn how to use a flexible system to control what displays on your site and where through configuration. Learn how to configure per-page or per-section layouts; or set up custom layouts for anonymous or selected roles; and control where content is displayed. We'll show you how to use Panels to take over existing pages such as the node creation page, and cover how to use Panels in conjunction with Views to create context-specific displays of your data.

By the end of the training you will be able to:
  • Create customizable, configurable layouts.
  • Create a system to allow users to modify
  • layout without touching code.
  • Employ contexts and variants for a control over display of content depending on context such as page or user role.
