Hi. Yes of course. You can load module positions inside K2 template overrides using the Joomla! API:

$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$renderer = $document->loadRenderer('module');
$params = array('style' => 'xhtml');
foreach (JModuleHelper::getModules($position) as $module)
{ echo $renderer->render($module, $params);}

Thank you for the answer! :cheer:

Could you be a bit more spesific, where do I place this code?
Do I place it at the point where I want the module possition in the category.php file?
And how do I name the possition?

This code will be placed in K2 template files where you want to load a position. I cannot know the name of the position, it's your site , you know it.

I think you misunderstood my question a bit.
I am quite ok with how to place module possition in the normal index.php file. But I am relative new in handle K2 files.

I want to place a banner right under the first item on the frontpage. I have created an override no prob. I placed your code in the category.php at the place where the leading item stop. But it has to be more than that. This code in itself does not create the possition, one I can give a name like "userX" and assign a banner module in Module Manager.

What more must I do?

I have the same problem. Trying to place a banner advert module between Leading and Primary Count in category.php...

What code did you end up putting in there...?

Answers appreciated.

@Rick

The code is still the same:
<?php
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$renderer = $document->loadRenderer('module');
$params = array('style' => 'xhtml');
foreach (JModuleHelper::getModules('your-position') as $module)
{ echo $renderer->render($module, $params);} 
?>
Just replace 'your-position' with the module position you want to load.
