Hello Mick,

The varies depending on where you use it. I can be $this->item or $item or it can be more complicated.

You have to be a bit more precise on what you want to do so I can point you to the optimal solution.

You can use a module and handle in which case it will show with an if statement through your index.php in your template.

For example, you say you need this button showing to a specific category's (which has a menu item leading to it) item page.

First define these two variables. Check first if they are defined already somewhere else.

$view = JRequest::getCmd('view');
$itemid = JRequest::getInt('Itemid');

Then add the module position

<?php if($this->countModules('MODULE_NAME') && ($view=='item') && ($itemid=='YOUR_CATEGORY'S_ITEMID')): ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="MODULE_NAME" style="xhtml" />
<?php endif; ?>

This will show the module only to this category's items.
