Hello William,

Still no luck. The code doesn't work on item.php etither. How can I check if there's a variable conflict going on?

Thanks,

Gorka

Hi Olgri,

Strange it's not working for you, it works on both my localhost / wamp server & on my Live site. Here's my cat_item.php overide code the Extra Field Alias is Price.

I have just tested it on localhost as well and it's the same as on live site - works in item.php and doesn't work in category_item.php :(

My Joomla! is 2.5.8 and K2 is v2.6.2 . What about you?

Edit the K2 category and set "show" to the "Extra Fields" in "Item view options in category listings".
Finally, be sure that you have the right K2 template in the category you make the changes.

Hope I help you.
