Short Description for Categories... have a description above & below product listings

[mydanilo]

Just uploaded the CKEditor again and the edit now works but the rest of the problem is still valid. Any pointers much appreciated.

Problem solved. There was a typo on line 37 that made the line of code appear in the text above category images. Replace this code:

<div id="indexProductListCatDescription" class="content"><?php echo $current_categories_description;  ?></div>
}

if ($current_categories_description_sub != '') {
   echo '<a id="descSubLink" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . $cPath) . '#descSub" >' . CATEGORIES_SUB_TEXT . '</a>';

with this one

<div id="indexProductListCatDescription" class="content"><?php echo $current_categories_description;  ?></div>
<?php
}

 if ($current_categories_description_sub != '') {
 echo '<a id="descSubLink" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . $cPath) . '#descSub" >' . CATEGORIES_SUB_TEXT . '</a>';

Sorry forgot to put the file name where the changes need to be made. Here it is:

\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_index_product_list.php

Hi, thanks for making such a wonderful mod. I was having this same problem on ZC version 1.5.4.
I changed the code as discussed, and the problem was solved, but the link: "more info.... " is now showing twice simultaneously in the subcategory page.
moreover, the "more info" link does not jumps to the proper place where the second description exists. it just jumps to somewhat lower place in the page. It would be better if clicking the more info link should jump to the start of the second description.
Any help available will be highly appreciated.
An example for the problem can be seen here: http://shopping.muteyaar.org/index.p...53_54&pg=store

is there a way that this mod could be applied to the 'main page' (index) such that it sits under new,featured,specials categories display on main page?

cheers, Mike

Not sure if you are still looking but you can do it by adding this code to the tpl_main_page.php in your templates common folder:

Around line 245 find

require($body_code); ?> 

and insert right after

<!--bof- SEO Ezpage text -->
<div id="seo_content">
<?php
if ($this_is_home_page) {
    $page_query = $db->Execute("SELECT pages_html_text FROM zen_ezpages WHERE pages_title='SEO'");
    $seo_text = $page_query->fields['pages_html_text'];
    echo $seo_text;
    } ?>  
</div>
<!--eof- SEO Ezpage text -->

Then create an EZ page with the title SEO and put whatever text you want on this EZ page. Works a treat.

Hi mydanilo - many thanks for your response and taking the time and effort to provide a solution - my faith in the Zen community is restored

I will try it out soon,
cheers,

I installed the module in 1.55 shop, but when I add e.g. a table it is showing html code instead of the table.
It seems that when the category text is saved some of the characters are replaced. my shop is using ckeditor.
Anyone has a solution for me? In some previous pages I see people describing the same issue, but I do not understand solution.

Change this code here.

admin/includes/init_includes/init_sanitize.php

Line #214

From

$group = array('products_description', 'coupon_desc', 'file_contents', 'categories_description', 'message_html', 'banners_html_text', 'pages_html_text', 'comments', 'products_options_comment');

$sanitizer->addSimpleSanitization('PRODUCT_DESC_REGEX', $group);

To This

$group = array('products_description', 'coupon_desc', 'file_contents', 'categories_description', 'categories_description_sub', 'message_html', 'banners_html_text', 'pages_html_text', 'comments', 'products_options_comment');

$sanitizer->addSimpleSanitization('PRODUCT_DESC_REGEX', $group);
