WebDev22 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 We created a category page that contains links to two additional category pages. The page is very blank so we're wanting to add custom HTML and content. Can anyone point us in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebDev22 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 We're actually trying to figure out a way to add content, such as paragraphs of text or custom HTML, to category pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebDev22 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Here is one I just found. I'd be very interested in hearing any reviews or recommendations: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4294 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebDev22 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I did some research and found some contributions that might work. We have a first-level category page with two sub-categories. There's nothing else on the page so it's desperate for content. One option would be to find a contribution that allows us to add a short description to the actual category page. I don't know if there's such a thing. Another option would be to find a contribution where you can add content to a category page. Again, I don't know if there's such a thing. Here's what I found so far: Category Descriptions: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4294 Category Description v1.00: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2343 Products Short Description: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3123 I don't think the last one would work for a category page that has sub-categories, but would be ideal for category pages with products. Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebDev22 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I started to install "Category Descriptions" (4294) and ran into some instructions that instructs changing code that was added by "Header Tags SEO", which I prefer not to alter. I've become so confused and am not sure what to do. To recap, here's what we are looking to have done. We have a top-level category page that contains two sub-categories. We would like the links to each sub-category to include a promotional graphic as well as text. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebDev22 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Satish - I ended up using the field associated with Header Tags SEO to display some custom HTML and content above the two sub-category links. I'm now working on adding a couple of images above those two subcategory links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
