K2 Beta Two
Michael and Chris have released K2 Beta Two, the next installment of the WordPress theme that powers this blog. That being said, I am going to start the upgrade process which may be rather time consuming as I have modified just about every K2 file. So if you spot any weird things happening around here, you’ll know why. I also plan on finishing up Part 2 of Customizing K2 sometime tonight, but it might have to wait until tomorrow to get published.



The upgrade went well. I enabled AJAX live commenting again, let me know if there are any problems. There used to be one where the latest comments and related entries would mess up after a comment was submitted. I also enabled the Live Archives, but they are going to need a styling overhaul. If I get that working I will get rid of the tag cloud as Live Archives has some built in. Cheers. Oh and I fixed the navigation links bug where it would go over the border. I had accidentally used a class in my CSS called navigation, but K2 used that for the links, d’oh.
It’s a nice update, I’m loving mine so far, Michael and Chris did a good job on this one.
guess I’m not the only one still up… dude your comment and related entries on this page (http://www.paulstamatiou.com/2005/12/30/k2-beta-two/) look like links but they aren’t, speaking of Ajax, that archive stuff was awesome from earlier today, peace
Looking forward to more of your tutorials! good stuff man!
Looks really nice Paul. :)
The race is on to see who can get their K2 theme out first :) I finally got around to putting WP2.0 and k2133 on my sandbox this aft, then he goes and release the new beta. And with icons no less. They’re grey-scaled and good to go (although there’s no real way to replace the edit icon, short of editing a core-file). And you don’t have any plugins to deal with either (new version of flickrRSS on the way).
Hey Paul, nice the new stuff you added made my visit more enthusiam ;-) just wanted to say Happy New Year and have a nice time. Just pause a bit and get into some champagne: cheers ! Dude. Happy New Year :-)
I’ve allready upgraded mine :P … It´s really cool the icons thing :)
Looks good- but I’ve noticed a glitch- the search box overhangs the “live and times” text. Mac OSX (panther) and firefox 1.5 javascript partially enabled.
argh- typo- life (F not V) :D
@titanium_geek: I don’t have any “The Life & Times of…” text in this header.
Did you have to adjust anything with the width of your header? I have two small lines running up both sides of my header ever since I upgraded to K2. I am not sure if I did something wrong or what?
@Adam, that is a border that is new with r133+. You can disable it with border: 0px !important!; in #page.
Thanks very much Paul.
I just went thru hell with 2 other themes that weren’t 2.0 ready so before I go back to k2, can someone please tell me that I can do without any problems? TIA.
Billy, K2 is completely compatible with WP2. Do give it a try, it really is an excellent theme as well as sturdy framework for whatever you plan on creating with it.
The little “black duckling” thanks you very much lol.
I had to ask after what I just went thru with 2 other themes, now that I tweaked “default” a little bit, I guess I’ll jump on K2 tomorrow, thx again.
