Hello,
Unfortunately the attachments are not available in the latest view.
You can 'hack' the extension but you have to be extra careful and always keep a backup.
In the /components/com_k2/models/item.php file locate:
if (($view == 'item' && $item->params->get('itemAttachments')) || ($view == 'itemlist' && ($task == '' || $task == 'category') && $item->params->get('catItemAttachments')))
and replace it with
if (($view == 'item' && $item->params->get('itemAttachments')) || ($view == 'itemlist' && ($task == '' || $task == 'category') && $item->params->get('catItemAttachments')) || $view == 'latest')
Or just add the || $view == 'latest' part.
This will enable the attachments in the latest_item.php file.
In your overrides -
getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates (this is important) - you can add the code that generates the attachments.
<?php if(count($this->item->attachments)): ?>
<!-- Item attachments -->
<div class="catItemAttachmentsBlock">
<span><?php echo JText::_('K2_DOWNLOAD_ATTACHMENTS'); ?></span>
<ul class="catItemAttachments">
<?php foreach ($this->item->attachments as $attachment): ?>
<li>
<a title="<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($attachment->titleAttribute); ?>" href="<?php echo $attachment->link; ?>">
<?php echo $attachment->title ; ?>
</a>
<?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemAttachmentsCounter')): ?>
<span>(<?php echo $attachment->hits; ?> <?php echo ($attachment->hits==1) ? JText::_('K2_DOWNLOAD') : JText::_('K2_DOWNLOADS'); ?>)</span>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
