[support] Panels/Views Promote to Front Page Problem

[Shai Gluskin]

Is it possible to retain the meaning of "promote to front page" when using a
panel for a home page?

Here is the problem...

I use a Panel for the home page and it has several views. Right now I have
the views set to filter on "promoted to front page" as a requirement for
selecting nodes.

The problem is that those views meaningfully exist on their own URLs. On
those URL's I want all the nodes to show up based on the other criteria, but
not filter on "promoted to home page." When the web editor unchecks "promote
to front page" for a particular node, those nodes now disappears from the
View as well.

The simple answer is to clone the view, make one filter on promote to front
page and the other not. That would turn my four home page views into 8,
ughh.

*My idea:*
Create an argument in the View. But when I click on argument in the Views UI
I *don't see* what I want to see in the drop down: node:promoted to front
page.

I'm running Drupal 5.7 and Views 1.6. I'm using Panels 1 dev version from
9/07 (will now update that to Panels 1.2 now that I noticed I'm behind on
that one).

Any help on the argument idea or other ways to do what I want to do would be
much appreciated.

Thanks,

Shai
