The Zoo Items Module (ZIM) allows you to display items on any page of your Joomla! site in a module position and links the item in your Zoo catalog component.  The Zoo catalog component is required for this module to retrieve the needed information and so that link to the item functions.  ZIM works for the Pro version of Zoo only.
