Using Extra Fields for lists was created by william white
The default category view with everything turned off except extra fields produces a verticle listing of extra fields. My desired result is to have them in a table format.I have used k2 override with onecss4k2 css file to produce a category view that creates a table (really multiple tables) populated with xtra field values. One of the fields would be "link type" to carry you to the item view. Changes to template_style.css tightened up the spaces and made it appear to be one table.I got inside the first foreach loop in category.php and embedded the xtra field foreach loop into it after removing the divs and spans and replacing them with table tr and td tags.This works so long as:1. there are only 4 extra fields2. they are all populated in each k2 itemThis will most certinally break. ? is there a better approach to this end?

Why have you put the extra fields code in category_item.php? Is there a reason for that?

I think you can put it inside the category_item.php. That would be more appropriate. Once you have it under the call of item. And if you don't want to ruin the default category_item.php you can make an if statement and choose between loading the category_item or a category_item_extrafields, for example.
