Good news everyone. As of revision 382, K2 now fully utilizes the jQuery JavaScript library. K2 no longer uses Prototype and script.aculo.us. They are no longer bundled with K2. Rolling Archives and Live Search should be functioning properly. Live Comments needs a few cosmetic tweaks. Text Trimmer is disabled and needs to be ported. #
This is the latest and probably nearly last version of the K2 options page. It took me long enough to finally get around to cleaning up our options page, which quite frankly had just been added to since we started out.
K2 users will note the absence of the ‘K2 Header’ tab. It’s gone. Dead. Along with most of the options that page contained. Instead there is now a Custom Header section on the main options page, which contains only the most vital header options. I decided, in the light of all discarded options being possible purely through CSS, to cut to the bone.
Click the above screenshot for some notes on the various sections.
After having talked to Scott, I have ported Sandbox’s semantic classes functions to K2. What this means is a hell of a lot more options for everyone to control their site via CSS and some changes in K2′s CSS.
The reason for these changes is an agreement I made with Scott to try and keep our class names as close as possible, hopefully paving the way for other people to adopt the same class naming convention. That, and Sandbox’s naming convention was better than ours in most respects.
Hasse Ramlev (in Danish) is the man behind the latest major addition to the K2 core, which allows you to upload pictures to use in your header as well as manipulate the header text-size directly from the new K2 Picture Upload control panel. Grab it from SVN now, or get the latest nightly (which will take a few hours to generate)
Thank you very much to Hasse!
PS: If you already have Hasse’s original plugin installed, deactivate it and relocated the header pictures to /images/headers/ in the K2 folder.
Also, make sure the /images/headers/ is writable.
I made a mockup of a navigation system for K2 a while back, and I’m hoping I can get around to implementing it soon. In the meantime, I’ve had several inquiries into how it’s supposed to work. So I annotated the flickr screenshot with notes, and you can click the image here to go there and check it out. Any suggestions and questions are welcome.
