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

You can find this out for yourself - run winmerge or something like it and compare the 1.3.7 and 1.3.8a versions to see what and where version changes are, then do the same with the mod version and the 1.3.8a version. This will let you integrate the changes correctly.

Then you might want to share your findings with others who can use the info:)

I ran exam diff and they are night and day see attached

The issue seems to be at
it is not drawing around

<h1 id="indexCategoriesHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

The text appears but the gray box around it does not.

I cannot seem to get this to work in 1.3.8? I used the merged version that someone was nice enough to share in the thread....everything is fine in the admin but I cannot see the lower text on the category page...

I see someone else recently had this problem?

I just went through all the files myself and everything looks fine....what else can be happening to keep that lower text from appearing?

Love this mod! I have one question though...

I am using Magic SEO Urls. My category pages, ie http://www.doodlebuckets.com/babies-255/ are displaying the more info link as http://www.doodlebuckets.com/index.p...th=255#descSub instead of http://www.doodlebuckets.com/babies-255/#descSub

The code for this link is

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

Is there another way to display the more info link so that I get a proper URL there or do I need to contact Magic SEO URLs and have them add something to my .htaccess?

Thanks!

OK, for the benefit of all, I changed the code in includes/templates/db/templates/tpl_index_categories.php to

if ($current_categories_description_sub != '') {
echo '<a href="#descSub" >' . CATEGORIES_SUB_TEXT . '</a>';

And I get my URLs as they should be :)

I've discovered that this fix works for top level categories, but not the subcategories. Where should I look to fix this? Thanks!

OK, gotta do the same thing from above in tpl_index_product_list.php This will fix the subcategories!

Can anyone confirm whether or not this mod works with 1.3.8a?

Many Thanks

Hi Phil,

I had this mod running on 138a. There was no issues with it on my site.
