How to relate two K2 categories was created by Garzarath
Hi this is something I miss on K2 and I really need for my next project. Maybe there is a way or a plugin that allow this.
Imagine we have two K2 categories: Companies and Projects. Both using full K2 stuff: Texts, Images, extended fields, galleries, tags,…
Projects are done by (belongs to) companies, so I would like to establish a relation between a company and its projects.
When I show the company item view, I would like to have at the bottom a list of its projects. When I click in a project it will take me to the project Item view.
Please, I really appreciate if someone knows how to do this and help me.

Hi Garzarath,
Is this what you want ?
Eg: When user is viewing and item page from the Company category, you want to show links to an item from the Project category ?
If that is the case, you can use the tag feature by adding same tags to both the items. Then in the item view options setting of the Company category , set to show the related item by tags.

Can I do this with a module? I wanted to have a page with 3 modules on it. A case study, a testimonial, and perhaps some project images or something.
I want the modules to call things relating to each other, and ideally I want to put one module for each thing rather than a new module for each project.
So I could tag all the testimonials with the right word, I could tag all the case studies (in a different category) with the right word), etc. But how can I make all the modules pull them together from that tag?
AND is there a way to choose to make modules dependant on another. For example if I choose a random case study, can I make the testimonials and such appear in conjunction?

lol sorry, hello.
I want to have a random article chosen from my portfolio. This will be a case study.
When it calls this article, I want to put modules on one side. Testimonials, and features.
Then I want it to know when it calls "project A" as the random article, to put the testimonial from project A and the features from Project A.
I know I can relate them all using tags, but if one is selected randomly... that's where I get lost!
