    Question Adding Text To A Category Page

    Hi,

    I need to add text to a category page.

    Somebody told me about the Category Description contribution, but it has a limit of 255 characters. I have 1046 characters to be exact. Here is the actual page it needs to be added to:
    UnusualGoods Beadshop!

    The text describes our process of custom work and general info about all the products in the category.

    Thanks very much for the help!!!!!

    Paul

    Well - two things can be done....


    Install the Categories Description Mod then change the table "categories_description" field "categories_description" in SQL from "varchar(255)" to be "text"....

    Or better yet - convert over to OSCMAX which already has this plus has a WYSIWYG editor....and many other features.
