display subcategory description

Is it possible to open a category which has subcategories and see the descriptions of the subcategories on the page. In other words, I have Category One. Category One has two subcategories: Category One-A and Category One-B. If Category One is opened, can the description of Category One-A and Category One-B be displayed under the link/title so the user knows what the content of the categories is? (the categories contain documents, so the description would be a summary of the contents).

This has to be a "first" ! ...

... afo ASKING a question instead of ANSWERING them!:D

(BTW... I don't know the answer!)

:rotflmao:

You have far too much faith in me. :D

Two fold ... peek in the category_row.php module ...

See where I added FRED?

    $list_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('params' => 'class="categoryListBoxContents"' . ' ' . 'style="width:' . $col_width . '%;"',
                                           'text' => '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories->fields['categories_image'], $categories->fields['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br />' . $categories->fields['categories_name'] . '<br>FRED' . '</a>');

Now you want to get in there a:
$categories->fields['categories_description']

However, that would be obtained in the main_template_vars.php of the /pages/index ...

And you will probably want to clean up that $categories->fields['categories_name'] so you don't make messies all over ... :cool:

I think I follow you. I'll give it a whirl. I've made so many messies trying to do this, one more won't matter. Good thing is, my nephew is excited about getting his website done (not e-commerce - ZC is acting as CMS).
