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.
As Mike has already stated life is returning to K2 in the coming weeks, and we couldn't be happier.
One of the things that I am going to be working on is a roadmap for development, what this means is that I will be setting up what features will be added to the project and when. You can help with this by adding in the forum a list of features that you would like to see added to the project.
This is your time to speak, and be heard. We need a thread in the forum to track these requests, so someone go ahead and get one going; if I don't see one made soon I will go ahead and start it.
Let me hear what you have to say.
The Automattic guys have released their Widgets Plugin, which thanks to Matt is already support in K2.
It's been a while since our last release, which means you'll have to get it out of SVN if you'd like to play around with it. Hopefully we'll have a new release for you soon.
Dudes and dudettes, I can't wait to unleash the next release of K2. We've got so much cool new stuff for you boys and girls to play with. Just a little longer now...
In the meanwhile, let me tell you about a great new feature for all you K2 style authors out there. By way of Steve, we've implemented a piece of code which reads the info in your custom CSS file and throws it in the footer of the site using it. And as if that wasn't enough, you can even customize the output... Yes, pretty snazzy.
Style authors should be aware though, I've added one more option to the info at the top of CSS files. This is of course updated in the sample.css and vader.css (which is in need of an overhaul) that come with K2. Nonetheless, this is what it looks like now:
/*
Author Name :
Author Site :
Style Name :
Style URI :
Version :
Comments :
*/
So make sure you update your styles so they're ready for the next K2 release. Peace out.
