How to do

[Baber.com]

Does anybody know if there is a way to put a paragraph as as catigory description for each one????

or is there any contrabutions that could do this

 

so like when you click on a category

its say now

 

LETS SEE WHAT WE HAVE HERE

 

TO Each category having its own text

little description

 

kind of like

 

This is the motherboard category that has bla bla bla bla bla

 

and then when you enter the modems category its

 

WE have a large selection of modems here that could bla bla bla bla

 

i tried useing one contrabution but i think it was too old for mine because it wanted to edit a general.php in the catalog directory and guess what "THERE IS NONE"

so that one will not work for me

 

ANY HELP on this would be great

I don't think there's a simple solution here, but here's a couple potential ones.

 

If you only had a few categories you could probably just perform a few IF statements and set the define statement depending upon what the category was.

 

Such as

 

if ($categories['categories_name']) == "Modems" {

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Lots of great modems here');

};

 

However that's a lot work if you have lots of categories and would need constant maintenance.

 

There is a contribution (use the 07/20/2003 - Category Descriptions MS2 1.4)

 

The Category Descriptions contribution allows full-text descriptions for

categories in a manner nearly identical to that for products.  In addition,

the HEADING_TITLE (found in the defaults.php file under the languages

path catalog/includes/languages/LANG/default.php) can be replaced with

different language-specific text for each category.
