How to only show category description on first resutlts page?

[ricardovangwan]

Hi,

In categories that run to a number of pages of products, I would like to only show the category description on the first page. I have found the code I need to adpat but I have no idea what variables I am to use to only show the description on the first page of the category.

<?php
// categories_description
if ($current_categories_description != '') {
?>
<div id="indexProductListCatDescription" class="content"><?php echo $current_categories_description; ?></div>
<?php } // categories_description ?>

Can any body offer any suggestions?

I worked it out but I'll leave the answer here for others. Changes are made to tpl_index_product_list.php

If anybody wants to do this to avoid duplicate content (for SEO purposes) then this is the code I worked out you need:

<?php
// categories_description
if ($current_categories_description != '' && $_GET['page'] =='') {
?>
<div id="indexProductListCatDescription" class="content"><?php echo $current_categories_description; ?></div>
<?php } // categories_description ?>

If you made changes to the database you could also set different descriptions for every category page this way.

&& $_GET['page'] ==''

means the first page ONLY will show the description
