Hi. I cannot think a reason for doing this... But since you want, if you are viewing a single category just use:
Note that this only works when you are viewing a single category in K2.
JRequest::getInt('id')

This was very usefull stuff, cause sometimes we don't agree with what designers do but we have to do it, anyway.
My problem was:
I'm creating an Artist management website, and on each artist they want me to display a number of events where they are going to be, with dates and name. So I used related content (Module) to do this so the thing is I need to check view and catid. So this module only displays on item view and on this specific categories.
I hope you could write down the documentation for all jvars involved on k2 they can be very, very usefull.

Keep in mind that checking URL paramaters is not a good practice. If user enables the cache for the module then your code will run only once. Then the rest pages will display the cached copy of the module.
