I'm still a novice here - can you tell me how to print it out? I tried placing the $current_category_id in the item description with and without the $ and nothing appeared.
I would like to do this=> If you just want to add some boilerplate text based on category, product name, or some other field, you can do that too, without having to type it in to each product in the Admin interface. For instance, here's some logic that adds the string CAT1_DESC (which you have defined in the file includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/my_defines.php) to every product in category 1:
This is what my_defines.php looks like.
<?php
$descr_stringlist = array("CAT1_DESC");
define('CAT1_DESC', '
