Hi, I am trying to get the Universal Module to display just the featured items of the current category.

I can do this be setting the module to display the featured items of a particular category however is there a way to do it where the module would dynamically do it based on the category page that it is placed?

Alternative is to have a different module set to "featured items" for each category. A lot of modules.

Hi micker,
I am not sure what the active page option is - is it something under "Item List - Filtering Scopes"?

Thanks micker,

I have looked a little further based on what you have said.

The module dynamically displays the Featured items for each category when Category Scope is set to "All" and "Items In The Same Category" is selected - but only in the item view, not in the category view.

This is the behavior I need, but I would like them to show in the category view as well.

When changing the Category Scope to "include" relevant categories, the module disappears.

When "Category Scope" is set to all and "Items in the Same Category", when selecting "Current Item Scope" to include current item only - the module disapears in all views.

Selecting the Category Scope to default with "Current Item Scope" to include current item only - the module also disappears in all views.

Trying to force the module into a category view using php per www.flexicontent.org/component/f ... ?Itemid=28 , makes no difference.

So, this would be fine if we had Category Scope set to "All" and "Items In The Same Category" selected - but with the module showing in the category view too, not just item view.

But how to do it!

Just to clarify:

When I say Category view, it is actually Directory view that is being used - looking at a list of items in a category in Directory view
