Category page or Product page help???

Hi,
Well, since I've slept some since making my site, I can't seem to remember the little things to edit or where to find them.
Here is what I want to do...
In my store (www.LilleyPadGifts.com), I have categories for different types of things we sell, Comics, Postcards, Olympics.......
I'm working in the Comic cat right now, and when you click on that cat from the home page, it takes you to the Comic Home Page (let's call it), it shows the logos for the different publishers of comics we sell (just a few showing so far), I would like to, above the logos, add some text but can't remember where the heck to find it!
I'm not even sure anymore what this page is called.
I swear this is a age thing :down: .... it was so easy to make the store, I did it in less then a week, but now my mind is totally blank since I've been working on setting up a network.....Please somebody help me QUICK before I forget how to turn this thing on!!! :unsure:

Thanks! :smile:

This is not a default feature of Zen Cart...there is test below the image but not above. All the representation is controlled by tpl files and this one passes through several so directing you to a single file is difficult but if you want to folow to trail begin with includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_category_row.php

OK, well, I'll be happy with below the logos then, as long as its visible for them to see on that page.

You currently have DC, Marvel, & Topps showing

yes and Image and there will be more added later..... ??????

For text above the subcat images, go to admin > Catalog > Categories/Products and you will see a list of top cats. Click on the "e" to the right of Comics and you can enter a category description.

Thanks, but I'm not trying to edit the catagories, I just want to add some text to that page itself. Some comic info from us in general.

I believe that gjh42 was pointing out where to edit/add text below the image

Thanks for that, and it did put the text above the images, not below them, but its not enough room for the entire text. Below them would probably be a better place. Is there a way to get it below instead?

Note that I have not done this but this should get you started in the correct direction:
Find or make a copy of this file includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php and then locate this block of code and move it below the <!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

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

Save this and place it in your templates/bluestrip_reloaded/templates folder

This is what I get ...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/jnothing/public_html/lilleypadgifts/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php on line 58

is it possible to move the two boxes on the right side to the left side so that maybe the sentences will stretch out more and not look like so much text? This would be a move for only Category Pages

Did you place the edited copy in the bluestrip_reloaded/common folder?

I had to make a templates folder because there wasn't one, but after doing so, I still get the same error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/jnothing/public_html/lilleypadgifts/includes/templates/bluestrip_reloaded/templates/tpl_index_categories.php on line 58

can I move the search box & Info box to the left side only on a sub-cat level? I want them stay where they are on the home page, but if they were all on the left on this sub-cat, maybe it would look better.

Unless you are planning to add a bunch more sideboxes, the three you have look pretty lonely on both sides of the center column. On any but the shortest pages, there will be a ton of blank space below both of them.
I think it would look better, and have more room for text, if you kept the sideboxes on one side. The horizontal fade of the sidebox headers would actually work well with that.

No, I didn't plan on adding any more boxes, in fact I didn't plan on doing anything now but adding stock. The Category box will grown which I had hoped would even the sides our more. I think for now, I'll just leave it like it is so that I can just start adding product to it. I did post another question, but its in regards to the Category box on the sub-Cat page. Maybe you could take a look at it and tell me if you know if its possible....it was just an idea someone mentioned.

Thanks!

You could clone the sideboxes and set the ones on the right for some pages and the ones on the left for other pages and it would "appear" that they move magically for you ... :cool:
