Add custom html on each category page? Or shortcode for categories?

[projects]

Hi, I have 4 categories and trying to accomplish something where each of those pages have different description displayed before actual products.

 

For example if you click on any category (any prestashop) you see products listed. I'm trying to do this where when on a category page, you see a block of text before the products start. But that needs to be different for each category so I can't edit tpl right away.

 

I'd also like html to be displayed like images and links. Any way to do this? In the admin panel if I enter something in the description of the category, it doesn't show up on the category page. Could this be because I'm using a custom theme? If so, how would I edit the tpl to show description?

 

Thanks! Great script btw.

{$category->description} should be available in your category.tpl to display the category description

{$category->description} should be available in your category.tpl to display the category description

 

Thanks!! Seemed to be missing in the template, appreciate it.

and if you add {$category->description} in your theme's category.tpl does it show the category description now?
