Hello,

I have tried to make the hack as minimal as possible, here is it:

Edit components/com_k2/views/itemlist/view.html.php, find this code snippet:

else
			{
				$items[$i] = $model->prepareItem($items[$i], $view, $task);
			}

Insert this snippet directly after the above one:

if (isset($items[$i]->tags) && count($items[$i]->tags))
			{
				$itemListModel = $this->getModel('itemlist');
				$items[$i]->relatedItems = count($itemListModel->getRelatedItems($items[$i]->id, $items[$i]->tags, $items[$i]->params));
			}

Then you can use this line anywhere in category_item.php to display the related items count

<?php if(isset($this->item->relatedItems)) { echo " Related Items(" .$this->item->relatedItems . ")"; } ?>

Hi jim,
Do you find any error? If yes, what is the message?
Also make sure the related items parameter is set to Show in the category configuration.

Hi Mohamed,
Thanks again for this, much appreciated!!! :)

Sorry I should have turned on error reporting and included this error in my previous post (sorry about that!) here is the error:

Undefined property: stdClass::$relatedItems in <b>/templates/my-template/html/com_k2/templates/properties/category_item.php</b> on line <b>25

Also yes the related items parameter is set to show and related iems are being displayed on the single items pages.

Once again thanks so much for your time and help on this Mohamed!!! Really really appreciate it!!! :)

Hi Mohamed,

So sorry to post again so soon, am just desperate to get this job finished (this is the last thing I have left to complete).

I just wondered if you have any ideas what might be wrong from the errors?

Once again any help would be very very much appreciated!

Many thanks Mohamed!!!

Hi Jim,

I have it already working on my local website!
As long as you applied the modifications as described, I think it is a configuration issue, all relevant Related Items parameters have to be set to Show.
