This is a drupal question asked by mariama on 31 October 2009

At the moment I have a political website where I want to express the views of my party.
The address will be like:

http://www.domain.com/opinions/”name of the neighbourhood”/list.html (this is a view which shows al the opinions for this neighbourhood).

What I have at the moment is a ContentType opinions. When I create an opinion, I select the neighbourhood(Taxonomy term) related to the opinion, and Pathauto is generating the url

http://www.domain.com/opinions/”name of the neighbourhood”/id-title of the opinion.html.

The problem is that sometimes I would like to have a 2 column, or 3 column layout for such a page. I’ve looked into the panels module but this isn’t completely clear for me. Do I really have to create a panel page with 2 columns, create 2 “Opinions” and include these opinions into one of the panels? This way I have to do a lot of actions for every page (create 3 different content types).

The view including all opinions for a neighbourhood will also be a problem because only the opinions not included in a panel will have to be there and all the panels related to neighbourhood.
