Do you mean to look like this page? or maybe this page?

Just so I have some idea of what you are trying to achieve.

Good find Poca,

One thing to be careful of, that extension would have been written for V2.1 and may not work with V2.2.
Might be worth sending a PM to the writer to see if they have tested it with V2.2

I would offer to do this on k2joom.com but I am over committed on other projects. You are more than welcome to add it to the list for testing.

hi K2Joom,
yes, this module is working fine on k2 v2.2. I made it some months ago. it's a simple modification of the mod_k2_tools.
it displays fine, but the only thing I still need to achieve is how to set the site to know I'm in the CATALOG view (as if I had pressed the CATALOG menu item ). the breadcrumbs tool doesn't recognize navigating through this module. I don't know which php function to call to set this main variable.
=)
