Add "latest items by category" block in item.php was created by joomlanew
Hi,
K2 is really an amazing component with great flexibility and many options. It is also quite easy to customize according to user's requirement. I have modified it to a great extent. However, I have one urgent need to display latest items by category in the item view page, the category being the current one which the current viewed item belongs to. There are modules which I can use to display most recent items by category but I want to modify item.php and other related files( actually I don't know which files to edit except the item.php template file) to accommodate this requirement. Is it possible to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for this great component.
I am using k2 2.4.1 version

Hi om,
I can't remember if the option is available in K2 version 2.4.1 but if you upgrade to the latest version K2 2.5.7, you will have the option to show or hide related items by category.
Refer to screenshot

Hi Fuad Kalhori,
Did you set it to Show and have you tried clearing your cache?

For module, use K2 Contents. It's already in Module Manager.
