Steve and others...<br><br>Thanks for the response.<br><br>The version of Panels I'm using (Panels 1 dev from 9/07) doesn't overly any of its own filtering mechanisms on the View other than:<br><br>* # of nodes to display<br>

<br>Were you indeed suggest I use the View arguments in Panels View:configure or am I missing something?<br><br>Shai<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 11:15 AM, Steve Edwards <<a href="mailto:killshot91@comcast.net">killshot91@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br>

separate CCK field in your content type (radio button, check box,
select list, whatever) that your panels can use for filtering what
should be displayed on the front page, and then that field will be
ignored when the view is used by itself. That will allow you to still
use one view in multiple places.<br><font color="#888888">

<blockquote type="cite">Is it possible to retain the meaning of "promote to front

<br>
Here is the problem...<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<b>My idea:</b><br>
Create an argument in the View. But when I click on argument in the
Views UI I <i>don't see</i> what I want to see in the drop down:
node:promoted to front page.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
Any help on the argument idea or other ways to do what I want to do
would be much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Shai<br>
