    Default Question 2: Category Descriptions (Enabled, Not Showing)

    Hi All,

    For my latest quandary...

    I have decided I want to see my SubCategory Descriptions afterall.. I have enabled category descriptions in config/mystore but I seem to be missing something. I can add the descriptions perfectly from within osc to the subcategory, but the description then never shows up on my site, live side.

    For example, please see http://www.cafeproducts.com/index.ph...7e485f012506b9

    And here is what I have added in osc admin (see attached)

    Your site is not coming up for me so I cannot see it.

    What version of max?

    What base template are you using?

    If you are using v1.5.5 and any of the templates other than the AABox base, you may need to update the content templates. Simply copy the AABox content templates to whatever template/content dir that you are using

    ms2-max 1.5

    Another person did the template and I don't know how to determine whether any changes have been made or if we're using default included in package. I think it is safe to say, that aside from the final description page, the templates are standard out of the box.. Does this help??

    First, make sure you have descriptions turned on in the admin.


    Next, compare your existing templates against the original templates and see where they differ. It just looks to me like the mods that you made to one of the templates or files has broken this feature. Time to bactrack your work and find the issue.

    You should look in the templates/content dir for the file index_products.php

    It should have this code near the top:

    Code:
    if ( (ALLOW_CATEGORY_DESCRIPTIONS == 'true') && (tep_not_null($category['categories_heading_title'])) ) {
                     echo $category['categories_heading_title'];
                   } else {
                     echo HEADING_TITLE;
                   }
