The categories show their newest articles on their section. Do I've to do it with the k2 content modules or are there other possibilities?

Thank you in advance

Thank you for your answer. I know how to show the latest items but how can I show the categories separately? It should not be a blog where the categories are mixed together. When a new item has been created so I want it to display on it's own category section on the blog and not at the first place.

Not the latest items. You need the latest items from menu item instead of the K2 categories one.

Is there an option where I can change the layout of each category when I've the latest items from menu? I only have the option to show all items or to show the first item and the titles of the subsequent items.

You have to make a template override and override the latest.php and latest_item.php.

Of you have some experience with coding it is very easy. It is a simple php check ( if the key is 0 echo one CSS class or echo another for other items. ) Then it's CSS

It's only the latest_item.php where I've to put a div. Here an example what I've done on the latest_item.php.

You have used <?php if($key == 1): ?> it should 0 as the first item is zero.

I would probably use a different approach. I would strip the extra markup and use a CSS solution.

Finally the $key variable should be used under the foreach loop (inside latest.php)
Locate this line

<?php foreach ($block->items as $itemCounter=>$item)

There you have the $itemCounter which is the same thing.

Then you need to change

?php foreach ($block->items as $item): K2HelperUtilities::setDefaultImage($item, 'latest', $this->params); ?>

?php foreach ($block->items as $itemCounter=>$item): K2HelperUtilities::setDefaultImage($item, 'latest', $this->params); ?>

Use it to echo a css class to the following div ONLY for the first item using something like <?php if($itemCounter==0): ?>
