Hello friends! Nice to join you! ;)

I have a little problem to solve and trust me I've been looking all around the web!
So I'm creating this website using k2 to build a catalog, the business is fruit and vegetables.
The company doesn't want any e-commerce so I decided to use k2 to build the catalog.
Now I have some items like i.e. "orange" where there are some varieties and i would like to create only one item and put inside the different varieties (without using the editor). Untill now i've been using this scheme:
orange (category)
- variety1 (item)
- variety2 (item)
- variety3 (item)

I have the perfect example grupoagroponiente.com/catalogo/pepino/, i know is wordpress but honestly if you can do it in wordpress why not in joomla.
As you can see one item and more pictures to show the varieties.
Also i need to create a seasonality calendar like the one you can see in the top-right of the item.

Pleasy help this poor guy! ;)
Thanks in advance

Hello,

You can extrafields to display extra content.
With extrafields it is possible to render them directly on your template and use the markup you want.

You can find a rudimentary example here:

Thanks Krikor,

but as I can see I can just add one extra field, and I need flexibility because a product can have from 1 up to 20 varieties.
So I created one extra field group called "product varieties" and added an image field and a text field.
How can I add more of that every time I need?

You can create a set of 20 fields, assign them distinct aliases and only use the ones you need.

Ok that could be one way but seems really impractical!
Instead what do you think if I create a new template just for the products where I use categories as Item like:

products:
-category1
-category1.1
-category1.2

so i.e when you enter category1.2 and there are items I can display the items as varieties, it should be more dynamic than having fixed extra fields.

You can publish a K2 Content module on these menu items in order to avoid having multiple templates.
