Having Difficulty Modifying category_item.php was created by Timothy Michel
I want to use K2 Categories for the ACYMailing "Latest Newsletter" and "Newsletter Archive" but I want the links to the ACYMailing generated :Latest Newsletter" and "Newslatter Archive" pages rather than the K2 generated Category Item pages.

Here is the code I am trying, but the code always falls through to the else statement and never adds the fixed link to the "Latest Newsletter" title.
<?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemTitleLinked')): ?>
    <?php if ($this->item->title=='Latest Newsletters'): ?>
        <a href="http://webdev.911truthoutreach.org/911-news/latest-newsletters.html">
    <?php else: ?>
        <a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>
    <?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>               
        <?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->titleRowTwo->value)): ?>
            <br /><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->titleRowTwo->value; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </a>
<?php else: ?>

It would be more optimal to check the id of the item and not the title.
<?php if ($this->item->id ==  ID): ?>

Thanks again Krikor. that makes good sense, much harder to get a number wrong than a long string of characters.

I found a great tutorial online that goes into how K2 is laid out what each file does and how each file can be manipulated. Pretty tired right now so I will post the link to the tutorial another time.

Once you 're at it, why don't you read nuevvo.com/blog/item/84-k2-inheritance-sub-templating as well?

It is really helpful.
