panels good thank you - we are missing the remaining content types: People and Food

Ed has tried to add this but can't work it out, and Jim has locked the panel editing so Ed thinks it's doubly sensible to not tinker. Here are the requests in order of do-ability:

Preferred: Add a new nicely aligned set of three panels underneath the main three panels with:

Panel a. list of People associated with Food Panel b. list of Events associated with Food Panel c. empty now, something Ed can add later (maybe a tag or forum thing)

Bodged: Stuff the people and events into the current page structure

Panel a. Add the 'list of people associated with Food' underneath 'News' Panel b. Add the 'list of events associated with Food' underneath 'Initiatives'

hours changed from 0.0 to 0.1
totalhours changed from 0.0 to 0.1

It's only locked because I was editing it and hadn't cancelled the operation. And is it that you can't add 'Transistion Theme' content type? Shall I tweak the perms?

Anyway... How about:

Better use of custom Panels layout

The relative orders are moveable, but since News and Events have long titles and dates etc, they need more space than the people, projects and inis.

Hmmm?

Opening this again as it has good information and was closed as phase 3 ran out of time. See the design Jim did above for reference - good layout.

Content types needed to be automatically feeding in:

News Blog posts Events Initiatives Projects People Resources

ALSO: editable text panes:

'intoduction' pane (already there)
'free' pane (including title) for user (could be admin) to add)

Not sure where the 'free' pane would go - it's bound to have some blurb and links to other pages/sites etc.

This is largely done...

Each CT requested is on the page.
Plain intro field added (1 above), max 160 chars, body to be used for meatier chunks (2 above) as it has full HTML capabilities.
Intro and body run full width of page for now, can be rearranged as needed.
2 col 'Golden ratio' layout is available for re-use across the site where needed.
All content types now have a panel pane "[content type] (by Topic)" which is used here. This means Ed can turne fields on/off, change the titles and the number of items etc via panels backend.
More links point to the main pages for each CT.

Anything else to do?

Looks great. As per the request. I'd close it instantly myself, but going to run this by Cat for feedback.

It's pretty. And sorted. Closed.
