Can't select Template... was created by Nick
For some reason I can't select templates for my categories! It just says use default. I have several folders with templates in components/com_k2/templatesstrange? I think so!However, I'm trying to achieve something different really...take a look at my main page: www.animekyun.com. I basically want the category of the item to appear under the image.I did it with the following code: <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemCategory')): ?>        <div class="itemCategory">            <span><?php echo JText::_('More of this Anime in:'); ?></span>            <a href="/<?php echo $this->item->category->link; ?>"><?php echo $this->item->category->name; ?></a>        </div>        <?php endif; ?>However, this also appears in other parts of the website where it's not supposed to. I tried solving this with templates but that's a no go i guess..Is there a way to do a php if and then have it echo only when it's on the main page?

Hi,

You need to place your 'new' templates in /templates/YOUR SITE TEMPLATE FOLDER/html/com_k2/templates/xxx/

i.e. if you site template is 'rhuk_milkyway' and you want to add the template 'custom_news' you need to copy from:
/components/com_k2/templates/general/
to:
/templates/rhuk_milkyway/html/com_k2/templates/custom_news/

Hope this helps.
