This is a Wordpress plugin that will display a rolling asides panel. The plugin will display as many asides per page as set by the value of Asides Number in K2 Options. For example, if you set the Asides Number to 3, then the plugin will display 3 asides per page.
Installation:
- Download K2 Rolling Asides v0.4.
- Upload and extract the file into your plugins folder.
- Activate the plugin via Admin panel » Plugins.
- Follow the instructions in readme.txt.
Update:
- 2006.05.05—0.4:
- Feedlink position finally fixed.
- Added compatibility with Internet Exploder.
- 2006.03.17—0.3:

- 2006.03.12—0.2:
- Initial release.
Great stuff Steve! Haven’t tried this out yet, but I’m gonna give it a go.
In the mean time, I have to nominate your layout for the Sleekest K2-based design. Well, I would if there was a contest anyway, haha. I can’t stop staring at the header and footer in particular. Very very nice.
Cheers,

Hi. I tried using your Rolling Asides plugin. However even after making changes in sidebar.php, I cant get it to work.
Hi. Sorry to post so many comments but I figured out the problem.
Hey man thanks, i was wondering how you did that. i’m giving it a wizz now!
Great plugin, but if I might point out one little glitch, it appears to alter the position of the RSS feed icon, which could be a problem if you have Latest Comments running—see my blog. Is there a way to get the icon back to its original position?
Thanks. I think I fixed the feedlink positions. I just shifted them 16px up
Hi steve. I had downloaded your asides plugin and its working fantastically. I have another question for you now. I saw that on the top of every page you have a gray coloured bar for next/previous entries. Is that a plugin or that you made or you downloaded it from somewhere. Please let me know. Thanks
It’s the new rolling archives that’s built-in the svn version of K2. You can get it by downloading the svn. You can read about the <a href=“http://getk2.com/2006/03/new-svn/” rel=“nofollow”>k2 svn here</a>.
Hi Steve. Thanks for that. I downloaded that plugin and did the required editing to navigation.php however, now the rolling archives plugin is displayed on the home page with a big grey coloured box with all the archived posts in it. I was just wondering how did you get the gray bar on top of all the posts on your blog. Its just easier to navigate that way.
Great plugin! I’ve got 1 question:
How to change the look of asides from what k2 has by default (only titles) to what you have (titles some content).
Thanks.
I’ve installed a plugin “Multiply” which allows to manage a few blogs (for example, http://www.wxample/newblog).
But something is wrong: if use you plugin on the main blog and on other blogs, everywhere only the main blog asides are shown!
What’s wrong?
Thanks Steve…. your K2 contributions are always welcomed and very nice.
Kick-ass plugin man. I had no trouble at all getting it up and running. Now the only problem is deeming a post insignificant enough to be an aside.
fuuuuuuuck man that’s beyond awesome.
<p>I used you theme plugin for a long time but since r314 released, rolling asides doesn’t work well. It’s a bug or am i a donkey? :p</p>
<p>Sorry about my english ;)</p>
<p>Steve, the plugin install is ok, but it doesnt show the images. The asides posts are showing, but the navbar gets all weird…can you have a look at my site?</p>
Hey,
Can this be used with the Widgets plugin? if so how?
KAn u please HIT ME BAK on my email? thanks
Nice blog!
Hey Steve.
Super stuff you got here. Just one question. I sorfof skipped the whole using K2 part and managed to get the rolling asides on to my page. “sweet stuff”
The asides work fine in safari and firefox on the mac but just keeps loading! when i try it on ff and ie for pc.
Any ideas?
I know its not what you intended it for but if you have some time over maybe you wanna help me out.
Thanx.
drekwon: I’m not sure why. I’m working on converting into a Sidebar Module now that K2 0.9 has been released.
thanks
Hi Steve,
This is a great addition to the k2,
I’ll be more than gratefull for widgetised version of the rolling asides.
Wishing you well,
Daddo
Thank you Steve Lam… your Blog design i very like it.:) oh ya how to make the search bar without button like your blog search bar? and if the blog can input forum i think must be better. and if got “Contact” form i it will be good too.
