Modules in K2 Articles

Sorry if this is misplaced, but I'm new to Gavick and K2. Is there a simple way to add modules on the right hand side of the K2 docs without making each article a menu item? If I have been trying to find documentation, however I am currently deployed to Iraq... so I'm a bit limited on time... if someone could point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

p.s. this is a stunning template... I ditched my plans to use another template for a different template club and joined gavick as soon as I saw this one.

thank you & kindest regards

Hi

I am also having problems with modules appearing in the right hand column of K2 articles. I have news items drawn from a K2 category. The modules appear in the category view but only in the item view if i set to display on "all pages".

The problem is I don;t want the modules to display on all menu items and as soon as i select individual menu items for the mods to display, the mods disappera from the individual news item pages (even though I have them set to display on the news menu item.

cheers

Found a way round this.

Create a new menu (mine is called "unpublished")but don't publish the module for this new menu. Create a new menu item for this menu using K2 >> Categories >> relevant category

Then assign the modules you want to appear on the K2 item pages to the new menu item and the modules will now display fine on your item pages.

Hope that makes sense.
