Hello,

I'm using this kind of url to make an ajax request :

xmlhttp.open("GET", '../index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id='+varId+'&format=raw',true);

and it's working fine.

My question is, is there any way to use a specific template by calling special parameters (i'd like my category view to only shows subcategories, item being only shown from thesubcategory), or creating a specific view that i could call from this.

What are the different views, layoust and tasks i can call and what are the differences ?

Also the prob is the same category may be called from another page where i would like it to show both subcategories and items (so i'd like to find an other than just setting a template override for the category itself).

Maybe use an extension like aditionnal categories for K2, set a custom template on that additionnal category and ajaw request on that additionnal category ?

What would be the best way to achieve something like this ?

(ps: would be awesome to have a specific CSS loaded for that specific view)

Thanks in advance and have a great day !

It helped me a lot and successfully managed to set my template based on both category and menu ID.

I'm still a newb and will surely face more prolbmes in the next days but you got me on the right direction.

Thanks a lot !!
