I run Joomla 2.5 and need to have some picture carousel on every items I write in K2
I will put about 10 pictures in separate folder for each items i write.

I have tried to find a suitable extention, but it seems that most of them is in a module that need to be stored into its own module pos. What I want is to put it into the item (document).

Any good advice out there ?

You can use any carousel modules and use a plugin such as modules anywhere plugin to render them inside your k2 items.

Such as below url.

When you create such module in module position simply write in the box rather then clicking on select button. This way you can write your own position, module will be active, it will not be rendered on your frontpage as positions you write will not be templates position but you can render them inside the articles, k2 items etc.

What I understand that you may suggest any module used in the following way.
Select pos: Type a name of your own
Place: use the {loadpossision .....}

First you need to create your carousel module.

While adding or editing module you do not have to select pre-defined module positions. Module positions that you can select are defined in template so it can be displayed on whichever page or homepage when you are using the templates positions. But we are not limited to modules positions that have already being defined by template, by writing your module position yourself into text-box you are simply defining new module position which you can use inside articles with "Content Load Modules" plugin.

See following image.

Adding new position "mynewmoduleposition".

Lets say for this example we use K2 item numbers for our module name as you will be using a lot of modules it is easier to remember them by k2 item id.

K2 item id = 200
Module named: 200
Custom position entered: 200
Syntax to load inside an article or K2 article would be : {loadposition 200}

Make sure Plugins > Content Load Module Plugin is enabled. Also in K2 settings make sure plugins are enabled.
