I want a very simple thing. I just want to show all the information ( picture,description, any plugins for category like googlemap) of the category that holds and item. I don't wan't only the line that says "published in category: Category name with link" at the bottom of the k2 item.

 

I need all the info of this category. Its very hard for someone that its not a php and or joomla expert to understand K2 without any kind of documentation. Its really pitty.

 

I am trying to understand the category.php in template but I just can't understand how to grab the category id from the k2 item and how to show all this information.

 

 

Anybody?

I found it myself.

 

STEPS that worked for me ( in the place of "k2gmap" you can put your plugin)

1) $pluginParams = new K2Parameter($this->item->category->plugins,'','k2gmap');2) To know the syntax of the fields I Used >>print_r($pluginParams);  3) Finally to get the value I used =>        echo $pluginParams->_registry->k2gmaplatitude;

 

So the complete code is this:

 

$pluginParams = new K2Parameter($this->item->category->plugins,'','k2gmap');//print_r($pluginParams);  echo $pluginParams->_registry->k2gmaplatitude;

 

Hope that helps. It took me hours of searching and testing things. In this way you can get any value from any plugin and show it inside item.php
