Hello William,

Still no luck. The code doesn't work on item.php etither. How can I check if there's a variable conflict going on?

Thanks,

Gorka

I have just tested it on localhost as well and it's the same as on live site - works in item.php and doesn't work in category_item.php :(

My Joomla! is 2.5.8 and K2 is v2.6.2 . What about you?

Edit the K2 category and set "show" to the "Extra Fields" in "Item view options in category listings".
Finally, be sure that you have the right K2 template in the category you make the changes.

Hope I help you.

Hello,

You should look at this thread .

Also make sure you are using $this->item or $item-> correctly.

PS. I 'm sure it's a typo but you need to edit category_item.php not category.php for extrafields in category listings.

They still have to be inside the foreach loop if you want to use them inside category.php.

Here is an example page: 50.116.122.124/~goodwin/xjoomla/index.php/fast-packs

If I put the extrafield code at the bottom of category.php it displays as desired:

But I want it to appear as a header above the list of items. If I paste the same code in this location the extrafield php does not display:
