The AdAdvantage K2 scheme has been updated.
This update took me quite a while to release as I wanted to get 2 ideas out.
- Sidebar module support. Yes, finally sidebar module is working with the columns. A number of user had asked and I hope this makes it really easy to play around with the sidebar.
I’m thinking of moving some of my blocks into the module in future. - A block that spans across the 2 column on the sidebar at the top.
Here the 336×280 large rectangle unit sits nicely.
Beside the 2 major update, the CSS and the layout are also adjusted. The header is narrower and the background color of 3 columns are now using a y-repeated image.
If you use it, leave me your feedback.

Thanks a lot for your design. I am using it and it is really cool. However it seems there is problem with wordpress 2.1 as categorey part is giving this error

I have not updated my version to support Wordpress 2.1. K2 had announced stopping for wp2.0 so I should be moving over to 2.1 as soon as I get some time.
Thanks for the support!
Ken,
This theme is great and highly configurable but I can’t seem to figure out how to add a background image to the footer since it appears to be made up of 3 separate divs.
I’d like to place a 970 wide by perhaps 200 high footer image to show from the bottom of the page contents to the bottom of the footer.
I tried adding the image in teh styles css for the default K2 theme but that just put the image at the bottom of the overall footer. I then tried it changing the css in your css where it shows ======== 3 columns footer ========* to no avail.
Any ideas?
Vince
Hi Vince,
The 3 div at the bottom is currently not used. If you want to put an image in the footer, try adding to the div as background the outer div (id=footer3)
If you need the footer to be the same width as the body, put it inside the content class.
Maybe if you show me the effect you want to achieve I can see if I can help.
hi, i have some problem with your style scheme. i hope you can solve it for me and for anyone also.
my problem is, when i click on ‘category’, i got this at the header. below the menu.
[You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'GROUP BY year(post_date), month(post_date), dayofmonth(post_date)' at line 1]
SELECT DISTINCT post_date FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_post2cat.category_id IN (16) AND (post_type = ‘post’ AND (post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ‘private’)) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID GROUP BY year(post_date), month(post_date), dayofmonth(post_date)
so, how could i remove this error?
please…
This does not look like a problem of the scheme. You version of mysql maybe not be support by the k2 theme.
could you install a standard k2 theme and see if the error is still there?
Hi Ken,
I’ve just done with the installation and installed your theme.
How could I get the block 336×280 like yours span across the side bars. It looks nice.
Thanks,
Clement
Think that’s my development code and has not been make available for download yet.
The problem is WordPress has moved on to 2.2.x and K2 dropped support for 2.0.x series. I was procastinating the migration and thus also the update of the scheme.
Now that I’m finally migrating to 2.2.2, I hope to update the scheme and also to take advantage of the sidebar modules. Much has improved to K2 since this scheme was introduced.
