Hi
IS there a way I can add the catalog page (http://mysite/catalog) to a panel. I cannot see the catalog page as a view or a block. I would like to create a block that just contains this catalog page. Can you please point me towards the function which renders this catalog.
Thanks in Advance

Re: Add catalog page (/catalog) to a panel
I don't think it creates a Block, but you can easily create a new View that displays your catalogue and also generates a block automatically (as well as a [more] link that takes you to the actual View's page).

It's all part of the Views module. Create a new View, and add the "Block" view (you can also create a Page that will show the same information). Add the filters and sorting that you want. (Enable the Views UI module and then go to admin/build/views).
Once you've created your View and saved the block, you can go to admin/build/block and choose where to show your Block.
This is basic Views and Drupal blocks stuff... it's a little complex but not super hard to learn. Good luck!

You could also try the "visual catalog" block of uc_marketing, which I believe is very close to a clone of the original catalog in block form.
There's a Module For That
Take a look at the thread: http://drupal.org/node/658732, and more specifically the comment: http://drupal.org/node/658732#comment-5420372 which has an alpha module which will do exactly this along with pulling in other much needed data from Ubercart into Panels.
