Item view: "More in this category" customization was created by afdrock

Hi,

First, K2 is really awesome!

When I'm in a item view page, after my item content, I have the options to display
"Latest items from author" and "More in this category".

The problem is that I need to show more items from the same category, but in the same way as is displayed at "Latest items from author", I mean, displaying like 5 items from the same category, not from the same author.
Is there a way to do that?

I'm not good with php yet, but maybe trying to adapt the function "" in the file
"/com_k2/templates/default/item.php" to show category items instead of author's items.

Anyone can help?

Thanks a lot, Simon!

Because I'm in hurry, I will use the mod_k2_content alternative.
I created some of these module, one for each category.
The modules are positioned at the footer, and each module is displayed only in his correspondent category by Menu Selection.

When I get some time I will try to override the item.php file, mixing the codes that you've mentioned.

Thanks again!

Hi,
Thanks for suggesting an alternative solution.
However, for some reason, I can not use module in this case. Is it possible to modify item.php file in such a way that it shows, say, 10 images (5 previous and 5 next)? I have already modified it to show images in place of just the item titles. The modified piece of code that I have applied is this:
