I hear you William, thanks. To use that extension, I believe you need php.5.3 - I'm on 5.2 right now and am swamped with too many other things to consider the upgrading.
If you have any thoughts or experience with said upgrading, then I'd love to hear them, although perhaps I should make another thread for that ( on a php forum ? )
By the way, I kept fidgeting with my settings and managed to get the module to show on a k2 item - just not in the module position I wanted.
I thought that as long as I was using module positions for the template, I thought every module position was fair game to use, but this isn't so. Why are some module positions showing up on certain pages and not on other pages ? What file/code controls this ?
