I'm using MEFG for K2 with Joomla 2.5.16 and K2 2.6.7. It's working good and MEFG is a great plugin.
But I'm also using K2 BNR Content module from bnrbranding.com to display some of the current K2 item datas in specific locations in the page. I seems that this module can't display extra fields datas despite the fact that display extra fields option is on in the module setting.
I was wandering if MEFG for K2 use the database in a different way that genuine K2 extra fields use it, so this could explain why K2 BNR Content can't retrieve extra fields. Or do you have any other idea of what's going wrong?
Thanks for your help.

I think the reason is that MEFG saves extra fields groups as a plugin data in k2 categories table, but the extra fields are saved in the same way of k2 core.
Most of the extensions filters the extra fields by the main extra fields groups selected in the category edit form, and removing this filter will get all the extra fields as they are displayed in MEFG.

BTW, I'm looking forward to read your review about MEFG at this page: extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi.../k2-extensions/23477
