Same question for me as well.
In search results, /public_html/components/com_k2/templates/generic.php file, if i add $item->attachments, nothing happens since $item->attachments is empty.
I see in K2 configuration, at Date & search listings there is not mentioned the attachments as an display option. Extra fields and Comments are :)

While i don't mind about missing in k2 configuration I'm wondering where should I look in order to instanciate $item->attachments.

Help please.

"$item->attachments" is an array, so you need to loop through it.

Start with var_dump($item->attachments); to see what get's output.

Hello,
If i try to output the array, I get the "null" value.
What I'm trying to say is that the k2 search result page, rendered by generic.php, does not initialize the attachments variable at all.
If you will be so kind to point me to the right file where the item's variables are initialized for the search result page I will be happy.

As a general observation:
In K2 General Settings, at "Layout view" / "Date & search listings". I have the "Extra fields" as an option to display/not display. But there is no "Attachments" option. I imagine that the attachments where not intended to be displayed in the "Date & search listings" page.

Founded:
/public_html/components/com_k2/models/item.php line 154
The "attachments" are loaded only if
($item->params->get('itemAttachments') && $view == 'item') ||
($item->params->get('catItemAttachments') && $view == 'itemlist' && ($task == '' || $task == 'category'))

I need to add a simple
|| $view == 'itemlist' && ($task == 'search' || $task == 'date')
since there is no var for $item->params->get('genericItemAttachments')

A stupid question now: Where should I override /public_html/components/com_k2/models/item.php in template's folder in order to keep the functionality at update?
I have found the answer to the override question.

I don't know better than you but my two cents are: If you consider custom fields important enough to be available on search results page, then maybe the attachments should be available to be displayed there as well.

You can't override the model. But it makes sense to use all available data in the itemlist views, so I'll make sure to change that in K2 v2.10.3 using common options.

Either way I was planning on "normalizing" these options for the generic views.

I'll keep you posted.
