Custom K2 Content Module Assistance was created by Joe Campbell
I need assistance creating a K2 Content Module (override) that renders the current item title, tags and specific extra fields.

I saw that @MohamedAbdelaziz recommended BNR Content for K2 on this forum post:
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/46416-solved-how-to-call-k2-viewed-item-s-title-creation-date#156871

I would prefer an override solution instead of using an additional extension.

I would like to render the following example via the K2 Content Override:

<?php echo $item->title; ?>
<?php echo $item->extraFields->bannerOne->value; ?>
<?php echo $this->item->tags[0]->link; ?>

Would you be able to assist me with cut & paste solution.

I also see that the extension does not play nice with K2v2.7

Cut and paste no.
Copy paste yes.

Actually the code seems correct, apart from the
$this->item->tags[0]->link;

where this should be used instead
$item->tags[0]->link;

That's for the correction - "Copy & Paste"

Perhaps I did not property present my need.

I want to use a K2 Content Module override to display the title, specific tag(s), and specific extra field(s) of the current item being viewed.

The following sample K2 Content Module override code does not render the desired content for the current item being viewed.
<?php
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>

<?php echo $item->title; ?>
<?php echo $item->extraFields->bannerOne->value; ?>
<?php echo $item->tags[0]->link; ?>
<?php echo $item->tags[0]->link; ?>

You would need to query the database in order to retrieve the data.
I'll look into a solution. It is not that simple.

Furthermore I think this should be done as a PHP standalone module.

Ok - Thanks

Do you mean PHP standalone module, as in not a K2 Content Module?

Yes, a new module would be better imo.
