[Solved] Category description and image on first page ONLY ?

[Mister Denial]

Hello folks,

does anyone know if there is a way to have the category description and image show up on the first page of the category only, and not to repeat on all subsequent pages?

Thank you in advance for your help!

please make more clear what exactly you want

When you set up a category in BO, you can add description, friendly URL, metas, AND a category image. This image (just like the category description) will show up on the first page of the category, but also on all subsequent pages of the same category.

I would like this image (and description) to only show up on the first page of the category, and not on the second, third, fourth, and so on. Only on the first page - a sort of intro to the category, if you like.

To show Category description and image on first page only you have to modify category.tpl

here is the some time editior parse some code Ex. $link->getcatImageLink ..... So I have also attached text files

 

 

replace following line in category.tpl

{if $scenes}
		<!-- Scenes -->
		{include file="$tpl_dir./scenes.tpl" scenes=$scenes}
	{else}
		<!-- Category image -->
		{if $category->id_image}
		<div class="align_center">
			<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category')}" alt="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" id="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" />
		</div>
		{/if}
	{/if}

	{if $category->description}
		<div class="cat_desc">{$category->description}</div>
	{/if}

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replace with following code

{if ($p==1) ||$p==''}
	{if $scenes}
		<!-- Scenes -->
		{include file="$tpl_dir./scenes.tpl" scenes=$scenes}
	{else}
		<!-- Category image -->
		{if $category->id_image}
		<div class="align_center">
			<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category')}" alt="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" id="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" />
		</div>
		{/if}
	{/if}

	{if $category->description}
		<div class="cat_desc">{$category->description}</div>
	{/if}
{/if}

Hi

I Have the same question, Im using 1.5.2.0.

 

I would also like for category description to only appear on page 1 of ?.

 

I looked in category.tpl for the piece of code but it looks different, I tried to just replace the code I have with the new one you posted, but it gives me a fatal error.

 

My code looks like this:

{if $scenes}

<!-- Scenes -->

{include file="$tpl_dir./scenes.tpl" scenes=$scenes}

{else}

<!-- Category image -->

{if $category->id_image}

<div class="align_center">

<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category')}" alt="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" id="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" />

</div>

{/if}

{/if}

 

{if $category->description}

<div class="cat_desc">

{if strlen($category->description) > 1500}

<div id="category_description_short">{$category->description|truncate:1100}</div>

<div id="category_description_full" style="display:none">{$category->description}</div>

<a href="#" onclick="$('#category_description_short').hide(); $('#category_description_full').show(); $(this).hide(); return false;" class="lnk_more">{l s='More'}</a>

{else}

<div>{$category->description}</div>

{/if}

</div>

{/if}

</div>

{/if}

 

It is not important for me to have the show more part in the description. It is not working properly anyways.

 

I hope someone can help me
