I’ve updated my K2 Hook Up WordPress plugin to include support for two of the latest K2 Hooks: template_primary_begin and template_primary_end. You need to be running the latest version of K2 to take advantage of it, but once you are, K2 Hook Up will help you target over 10 regions in your theme with the content of your choosing – without having to edit any files. Current Users will be able to auto-update from wp-admin. New Users can get started here.
For developers looking to contribute to the plugin, K2 Hook Up is now on GitHub, so fork the project and send me a pull request with your changes.
You gotta love the GPL.
All of the code I release is done so under the GPLv3 license, including my WordPress plugins. Because of this, my K2 Hook Up plugin inspired a very similar plugin for the premium theme, Thesis. This is why I love open source. I’m free to copy and paste and tinker and hack. So when I’m fortunate to offer up my own code for others to use, its a great feeling to have it in turn inspire another’s tinkering.
But its an even better feeling to receive a very nice complement on your contributions:
I’m very grateful for your plugin, Eric! Seems like whenever I try to do admin panel stuff, it’s so complex, leading to surrender on my part. Your plugin was very well written — elegant in its simplicity, as they say — and helped me learn some stuff! – Rick Beckman
Its interactions like this that really do make it all worthwhile.
I have just committed a major update to my K2 Hook Up plugin. As soon as I released my plugin—which allows smart people using the K2 theme to insert arbitrary HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code into any of the 7 custom template hooks that K2 provides—I got the same question: When will it support inserting PHP code?
I’m happy to report that its day has come, and that day is today.
