Do you mean if it an item, the task is category? Or do you want to show the item's category?

For example if you have a K2 Content Module that is visible for all K2 content views (item, category, tag, user)

But you want to show specific content based on the current view, for example:

<if view = category>
hello I'm a category
<end if>

<if view = item>
hello I'm a item
<end if>

<if view = category or tag>
hello I'm either a category or tag :)
<end if>

Ok.

It is not that simple you have to do
IF it is K2 AND the task is a category (or view is an item).

You need this little helper.

$option 			= JRequest::getCmd('option');
$view 				= JRequest::getCmd('view');
$layout 			= JRequest::getCmd('layout');
$page 				= JRequest::getCmd('page');
$task 				= JRequest::getCmd('task');
$id 					= JRequest::getInt('id');
$itemid 			= JRequest::getInt('Itemid');
$tmpl 				= JRequest::getCmd('tmpl');

If($option == 'com_k2' && $view == 'item' ) { 

}

If($option == 'com_k2' && $task == 'category' ) { 

}

If($option == 'com_k2' && ( $task == 'category'  || $task == 'tag'  ))  { 

}

With this helper you can create your own conditional tags based on the menu item, the item's id etc...

You 're welcome Joe.

Want to push it even further? Have these classes echoed in the <body> element so you can control your layout even better.

You can download one of your free templates to see it in action:
