Dear all,
I need some modules to be different on the category page(s) than on the item pages.
As far as I know, anything what is place on the category page is visible also on the item page - is there any way to style it different?

Looking forward to hear from you soon,
Kalixo

There are ways to achieve this.
If you are using only a handful of items you can map these items into a menu item.
Otherwise you can use an extension like Modules Anywhere which allows you to have rules for your modules apart from menu items.
Finally you can do this in your template, have that position excluded from items and add a position specifically for K2 items.

Yes, you are right. When assigning a module to a category menu item , this module will show up on all item pages of this category as well. That's not what is sometimes needed.

I worked with RAXO All-mode K2 - Powerful content display module for K2 which has a function for this case.
When I enable "Hide on article pages" parameter in the module settings, it shows up on category page, but doesn't display on item pages.
Is it what you are looking for?

This module uses this code to define page type and uses it as a condition for module display.
$input = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
if ($input->get('option') == 'com_k2' && $input->get('view') == 'item')
{
	return;
}
You can apply a similar code in the module you want.
