Hi,

i want to show the attachements of the "active" article in a module in the Sidebar.

The module is only active on sites where the main article is shown in the main content area.

Is there a way to access the attachements of an active k2 arctile (like $this in the article itself) from the module without a seperate sql query?

I know there is a way to create a K2 Tools modules for each article with a single article selected, but thats way more work. This should work for thousands or articles.

Thanks and greetings

msk

Hello,

If you do not want to perform a separate query, you can use an override of the item.php file and use its contents in a separate block. You can then load an extra module position above or bellow it in order to load all the other modules.

Thanks for your reply!

But in this case a module gets loaded in the content area, right?

Best would be if theres a way to get the data in a seperate module which can be loaded/placed everywhere on the site.

Depending on the template, you can render all the surrounding modules in the item.php file.

Another approach would be to use JS to clone data or you could render the JSON feed generated by that item.

Cleaner solution and no additional queries.
