Just arrived back home from my trip to Paris for NYE which was good fun with a little disappointment at midnight as the City of Paris hadn’t organized any fireworks display at all at the Eiffel Tower…
In the coming days I will write more about the trip and I will some video footage as well.
In the mean time… welcome 2010 and Happy New Year!!
Today at 20:49 CET, Michael Heilemann announced in revision 894 that the K2 theme has now reached the v1.0 mark. Hereby my congratulations to the K2 team and keep up the good work guys!! I have seen many interesting changes in the last couple of days I’m going to explore ;)
Read more on the 1.0 release here.
Just got a wicked tip today from Dooa Doob of My Head Radio… Jango.com. You just got to love this website as it provides you with an easy way to the music you like anywhere you can stream from the internet. They describe it as “Internet Radio that Plays What You Want!”.
Where it basically comes down to is that you create radio stations (=playlists) and add the artist to it that you like. The Jango system will then play those artists and will mix sort-alike artitst to it including new artists so you also get to listen to stuff you have probably never heard of before but you most likely will like as well.
And when you are in the mood for just a specific genre, don’t worry, you can create multiple radio stations or you just simple tune in to someone elses radio station.
Just see for yourself and don’t forget to add My Head Radio to your station as well as they produce really an unique sound.
If you want to read more about Jango – then have a look at the FAQ.
Today, just before five, I received a really nice call from the real estate agent I placed a bid with for an apartment. He told me that my bid had been accepted by the selling party, woohoo!!
So in short, I will become the proud owner of a lovely apartment on the Waterlelie which has just been handed over to the first owners :)
Imagine. You are using the K2 theme for WordPress and you want your design to be a full height design. Your first thought is probably that you only need to change some bits and pieces in the CSS and your done, right?!
Ok – it’s almost that easy but in the end it took me quite a while to find the proper solution for pages with very little content on it… So to save you the same hassle – here is a how to. I would suggest you add the CSS code to a custom style stylesheet rather than modifying the style.css to keep things easy when upgrading K2.
Step 1: footer.php
Before we start with the required CSS code we need to make a slight adjustment to the footer.php to ensure that the footer div is included in the page div which acts as the wrapper div.
Move this line:
</div> <!-- Close Page -->
Towards the bottom, right before this line:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
Step 2: make html and body both 100% in height
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
Step 3: adjustments to #page
#page {
padding-top: 0;
border-bottom: none;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
Step 4: adjustments to #header
#header {
border-top: 20px solid #fff;
}
Step 5: adjustments to .content
.content {
padding: 0 20px 62px;
}
Step 6: adjustments to #footer
#footer {
padding: 10px 0 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}
Final action
Ok, that’s basically it although you now need to check if some values need to be changed or not. I have changed the padding of the footer (see step 6) to 10px for both the top and the bottom. With these padding values I need a padding value of 62px for the bottom in the content div (see step 5).
Tip: to see how much you need for the bottom padding in step 5 is to add a background color to the footer and then make a screenshot. In, for example, Photoshop you can then easily get the height of the footer. Just a few more pixels to that as a spacing between the content and the footer and you are all set.
Tested with K2 r743 with FF3, IE6, and IE7.
