Creating nice CiviCRM user dashboard using views, panels

Views and Panels are some most using modules in drupal, using these module we can create nice user dashboard to view CiviCRM related data of the users. Here is the simple example, just u need to follow the steps to get this dashboard on your drupal installation. Before you start, you should have working CiviCRM installation on your drupal, configured with views2 ( http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/Views2+Integration+Module ). Recommended CiviCRM version is 3.3.x.

Accessing CiviCRM custom data in different views

CiviCRM already allows to access custom data in views, which works really awesome.
But it seems very specific eg . we can use contact related custom data only in the contact views, or we can not use event, contact related custom data in participant views.
Following patch will allows to extend this custom data further.
Patch will make available contact related custom data in participant, contribution, activity and membership views also it allows event related custom data in participant views. In this way we can extend CiviCRM custom data in different related views too.
