How to render mini panel in custom template programatically? I have a minipanel and I have a custom template. How can I render minipanel in my custom template programatically?
Mini Panels are available as blocks. So you'd be rendering it in the same way you render any block programmatically in Drupal 7.

Use

$block = module_invoke('panels_mini', 'block_view', 'machine_name_of_mini_panel');
print $block['content'];
