Currently, we can echo extra fields from the current item into K2 Content Modules using an override.

With K2v3 extending extra fields to categories and tags, will we be able to render extra fields from a current category or tag into a K2 Content Module override?

Hello Joe,

That is an excellent question.
You can use the data layer, it works with items
github.com/kricore/Advanced-templating-with-K2/blob/master/_inc/datal-layer.php

Let's see if we can enhance it to work with other content elements as well.

Thanks Krikor,

Such a feature is a big deal for me. As I plan on controlling Content Modules on category and tag pages via extra fields.

Perhaps a post illustrating the similarities and differences between item vs category/tag extra/author fields would be helpful of K2 users.

Something similar to post I did with information I received from @Lefteris

Thanks,

Joe
