How to disable/enable Category Descriptions?

[rulother]

How does one disable or enable category descriptions? I'm not saying simply deleting the description in the backend, but in which file or files do I edit for category descriptions? I've been looking around and can't seem to find anything. Any help would be great.

Around line 58 in category.tpl in your themes folder.

I'm working with a templet that currently has it disabled. That has ...

 

 

{/if}

 

{if $category->description}

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

{/if}

 

on Line 58

 

What should it look like?

 

Basically this is my current category.tpl file...

 

 

 

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

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

 

{if isset($category)}

{if $category->id AND $category->active}

 

<h1>

{strip}

{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

{$categoryNameComplement|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

<span class="category-product-count">

{include file="$tpl_dir./category-count.tpl"}

</span>

{/strip}

</h1>

 

{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 isset($subcategories)}

<!-- Subcategories -->

<div id="subcategories">

<h3>{l s='Subcategories'}</h3>

<ul class="inline_list">

{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}

<li>

<!--

<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">

{if $subcategory.id_image}

<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium')}" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />

{else}

<img src="{$img_cat_dir}default-medium.jpg" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />

{/if}

</a><br />

-->

<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a>

</li>

{/foreach}

</ul>

<br class="clear"/>

</div>

{/if}

 

{if $products}

{include file="$tpl_dir./product-compare.tpl"}

{include file="$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl"}

{include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$products}

{include file="$tpl_dir./product-compare.tpl"}

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

{elseif !isset($subcategories)}

<p class="warning">{l s='There are no products in this category.'}</p>

{/if}

{elseif $category->id}

<p class="warning">{l s='This category is currently unavailable.'}</p>

{/if}

{/if}

Are you sure that it is actually disabled? It could be that cat_desc is set to display:none; in your css file. you have a link to your site?

[rulother]

Actually you were dead on about the css file. Fixed everything, thanks a million DesignHaus42!

[Dh42]

No problem.
