Question about adding addon plugin functionality to module

Hello,

I have a question about adding in a K2 plugin feature to the modules come with the theme. Basically, what I have is downloaded the plugin for K2 that allows you to add a topic to more than one category. I have it working on the main display pages, but am needing some guidance on where to put the code so that the module recognizes the plugin.

This is what I found on the author's web site, but I don't think it addresses modules, just the component itself. If you guys have any suggestions, please feel free to throw them my way.

i do this so...

your template / html / mod_k2_content / your template / default.php

Find this

<?php if($params->get('itemCategory')): ?>
<?php echo JText::_('K2_IN') ; ?> <a class="moduleItemCategory" href="<?php echo $item->categoryLink; ?>"><?php echo $item->categoryname; ?> </a>


Change

<?php if($params->get('itemCategory')): ?>
<?php echo JText::_('K2_IN') ; ?> <a class="moduleItemCategory" href="<?php echo $item->categoryLink; ?>"><?php echo $item->categoryname; ?>
<?php
$dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
JPluginHelper::importPlugin ('k2');
$additional_category_links=$dispatcher->trigger('onK2AfterLinkCategoryPublish', array($item->id));
echo $additional_category_links[0];?>
</a>

Thank you for your help in advance!

Which module you want to modify?

I was needing to modify the News Show Pro GK5. That will allow me to use the features of the multiple cat assignments in K2.

Do you need access to the site? I can setup a dev account.

No, because I don't it will be possible. This is huge custom work and this kind of changes are far beyond our support.

No worries, I was just curious as to which files I could modify that might be able to accomplish this. I will explore it.

You need to trigger plugin while module is rendered or just add some additional queries to source classes but I don't think it will be easy. Whole NSP is designed to work with particular data source and default tables structure. It all depends of your plugin, if it modify default table it will be not so easy.
