Hello, I placed a module "outdoor advertising" in my inset coloumn. Data source is set to the correcponding category. However, when I click on it, it brings me to a K2 article, not to category with many articles as I intended. Please advise.

If you're using the News Show Pro module then you will always get a link to the articles not categories, you can only put the link to category using article info section and the %CATEGORY tag.

I dont seem to have "%CATEGORY tag" among my K2 tags. How can I create one?
If I assign this tag to a News Show Pro, will it work then? Thanks.

No - the %CATEGORY tag should be used in the News Show Pro information block structure option value - then the information block will replace the %CATEGORY tag with the link to the article category.

Please specify where "information block structure option value" is, under what subsection. I briefly looked in the options, but I don't see anything named "Structure option". I saw, in the information section, something called "info format". Is it what you meant? Thanks.

Yes it is this option - there you can specify tags like %DATE, %AUTHOR, %CATEGORY etc.

Ok, I placed the category right after the date thing... how do I get the link to work though? It still doesn't bring me to the category. Thanks!
