For those who are interested in using the newer method to display an extrafield on the tag page, a hack to one of the core files (as of K2 2.6.6) Here is what I did:


Add some extra code to components\com_k2\models\item.php

Add || $task == "tag" to extrafields condition (line ~181):

//Extra fields
if (($view == 'item' && $item->params->get('itemExtraFields')) || ($view == 'itemlist' && ($task == '' || $task == 'category') && $item->params->get('catItemExtraFields')) || ($view == 'itemlist' && $task == 'tag' && $item->params->get('tagItemExtraFields')) || ($view == 'itemlist' && ($task == 'search' || $task == 'date') && $item->params->get('genericItemExtraFields')) || $task == "tag")

Use the following syntax to display the extra field
<?php echo $item->extraFields->fieldAlias->name; ?>
<?php echo $item->extraFields->fieldAlias->value; ?>

Thanks Steven for this really useful hack..

I am wondering if there is any way of adding intro text per tag listing (menu item - k2 tags) ... I think this is not possible, eh? :)
