Hi,On the homepage i like to have modules between the items (in category view). i will attach a picture so you can understand me better..(this is the frontpage)

You will have to write some code to the category.php file of the K2 template.
First step in all the procedure is to create a K2 override, if not already. To create an override of the template files you will have to copy the templates folder from components/com_k2/ and paste it in templates/your template/html/com_k2/.

Next step is to open the category.php file in default folder (or if you are using another template to that one). Go to the foreach that handles the leading or primary or whatever you have set to your parameters for that page and make the following change right after the div class="itemContainerWrapper" closes:

if(($key+1)==3):
if(JModuleHelper::getModules('user1')):
div class="user1"
foreach (JModuleHelper::getModules('user1') as $module) {
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module, array('style' => 'YOUR MODULES STYLE'));
}
/div
endif;
endif;

Otherwise you can do it with an easier way than that of the if statement and simply change your parameters a little, use both leading and primary or primary and secondary and just insert the module code between those two containers (itemList and itemListPrimary).
So if your parameters now are Leading Items -> 6 it could be Leading Items -> 3 and Primary Items -> 3

Thank you very much Yiota! i will try this laterz- if i stuck somewhere i will ask further questions if it's ok - thanks again! ;)

i am not a programmer but looking at this if(($key+1)==3): says that after the third item the module is inserted right? so if i cahnge this to if(($key+1)==6): than after the sixth item the module will appear? sorry for my newbines .. just using logic without previous php knowledge.

Yes, that is correct.

and this if(JModuleHelper::getModules('user1')): if there is a module in that positon says to pull the module/s that are in user1... so if i create new module position in the joomla xml named test1 than i want to use the module that is loaded in the module position test i should do this

if(JModuleHelper::getModules('test1')):
div class="user1"
foreach (JModuleHelper::getModules('test1') as $module)
and the module that is loaded in test1 will appear in k2?

Now here

echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module, array('style' => 'YOUR MODULES STYLE'));
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module, array('style' => here i insert the height and width of the module position?')); ... if this is correct than what if i want this to be controlled with the module (some modules have parametars where you can enter width and height)

Sorry if i am bothering you i just really want to learn php on the way as much as i can ^^

For the module position you are correct. The user1 is a module position which calls a module that is published in it. The module style is the same you are using in your template's index.php when you call up your module positions. Like jdoc:include type="modules" name="user1" style="????". It has to do with the module style, not the module parameters.

this confuses me a little
I am in ROOT/templates/my_template/index.php
in that file only this exists


if (class_exists('T3Template')) {

$tmpl = T3Template::getInstance($this);

$tmpl->render();

return;

} else {

//Need to install or enable JAT3 Plugin

echo JText::_('Missing jat3 framework plugin');

}

I don't know your template's structure to help you with that, but you can search in your template for this statement jdoc:include type="modules" name="user1" style="????". It could be in another file.

I searched all .php files in my template folder with "
in My_Template/blocks/navhelper.


edit: i hate when i cant put code in this text editor
I do not want to waste your time so thank you for assisting me. I will try to find an answer for this.. when i will ill try to put everything as you instructed me and notify you if i am stuck again somwhere :)
