Kitchen Sink HTML5 Base WordPress Plugin

We are getting really close to tagging version 0.1 and are doing our best to fully document as we go. Forgive the mess in the meantime. We are almost done with a development starter “base” theme. In the meantime if you want to get a taste of KST you can download our first demo theme “Twenty Eleven” on github . We’re working on a demo site to showcase all the demo themes. See the Twenty Eleven demo so far.

It is not necessary to read all of this to use Kitchen Sink HTML5 Base (KST). Start with Get Started and try out a demo. Then when you are ready to develop something for the first time, just browse the “appliance” list below for the features you want/need and check the usage summary. Most everything is pretty straight forward and reasonably documented. If you get stuck that’s what the rest of the reference is for :)

Appliance: Marketing: JIT (Just-in-Time) Sidebar

Widget! Drop this widget in your sidebar above the last couple things in a sidebar and they will magically float with the page once they are scrolled to the top. Perfect for important navigation or “promotional” call to action content.


Usage Summary

$my_theme->load('jit_sidebar');

Then just add the widget to the appropriate sidebar just above the items you wish to “float”.


Usage Notes

Requires jQuery. Does not work in IE6.

The script will not trigger the floating if it detects that the height of the items being floated is taller than the height of the current browser viewport. Otherwise there would be content that would never be reachable.


Roadmap Notes

There are issues in certain layouts where the floating JIT sidebar overlaps the site footer in an unattractive way. This will be improved to prevent that from happening.
