JoomlaWorks,
Please please please!!!
This is the only thing holding me back from using K2. I need to assign multiple extra fields groups to my categories. I've tried all the suggested workarounds from this community but none have worked for what I require.

Thank you!!

I also need to assign multiple extra field group for one category. Please help....

Hi. This is not supported. Consider re-factoring your extra fields groups so they meet your needs.

Hi,

I'm developing a k2 plugin to enable this feature.

Do you have any seuggessions or features you think it will be helpful in this plugin purpose?

I'm almost finished and testing it heavily to get it released asap.

What about the ability to assign extra fields to more than a single extra field group? I could really use that as well...

Thanks for your efforts - this will be a great addition to K2 as a lot of people look to be able to show couple of basic extra fileds in Category view and then the rest more specific extra fileds in Item view.

Please let us know how you progress and what the plugin will be called. I guess you'll upload at Joomla extensions website be it commercial or non-commercial :)

Could not help with code, but I will post if something comes to mind.

To me (and I believe many others) it is essential to be able to assign multiple extra field groups to one category and then choose one group of fields to show in Cat view and another group to show in Item view.

Right now I am trying to build a catalog.

I have Parent category and sub-catagories. All the items are in the sub-categories. So I am trying to show:

1. Items from sub-cats in Parent cat view with one extra fileds group assigned (just couple of basic extra fields)
2. Items from sub-cars in the respective sub-cats view with the above functionality
3. Items in Item view with the extended set of extra fileds from different extra field group.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

The plugin will be released very soon, its a matter of 1 or 2 days.

The main implemented feature is: assigning multiple extra fields groups to one category.

The other feature you are asking for, can be done temporarily with a workaround in the templates.

I will write here as soon as the plugin is ready.

Hi All,

I'm happy to announce that the plugin is ready, here is the plugin page:

You are all welcome

Nice addition. installs with no problem,
Select an extra field group in the regular k2 cat params
then at bottom select a second extra field group
Nice Job!

Thanks william, sorry I have not seen your post before.

Hope you enjoyed the plugin, looking forward to hear suggestions from you.
