Show category description and image ONLY on first product page ( prestashop v. 1.5-1.6)

[armenak]

Hi everyone,

 

I  want 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.

 

I've just found the solution for my question but it seems to work only for prestashop 1.3 version.

 

Here is it: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/119271-solved-category-description-and-image-on-first-page-only/

 

Can anyone help with solution for 1.5-1.6 version ?

 

Thank you in advance.

i checked this solution,

you can achieve it in 1.6 in very similar way.

 

but the question is: you've got layered navigation block module enabled?

[armenak]

Hi, Vekia.

 

Thank you very much for your fast response.

 

Yes, layered navigation block is enabled. Should it be not or should I change anything in its configuration ?

 

Currently, I have this in my category.tpl and I attached layered navigation block configuration.

 

{if $scenes}

<!-- Scenes -->

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

 

{else}

<!-- Category image -->

{if $category->id_image}

<div class="align_center category_image ">

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

</div>

{/if}

 

{/if}

        {if $category->description}

{if strlen($category->description) > 5000}

<p class="cat_desc clearfix" id="category_description_short">{$category->description|truncate:5000} <span onclick="$('#category_description_short').hide(); $('#category_description_full').show();" class="lnk_more_cat"><i class="icon-plus-sign"></i> {l s='More'}</span></p>

<p class="cat_desc clearfix" id="category_description_full" style="display:none">{$category->description}<span onclick="$('#category_description_short').show(); $('#category_description_full').hide();" class="lnk_more_cat close_cat"><i class="icon-minus-sign"></i> {l s='Hide'}</span></p>

{else}

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

{/if}

        

            {/if}

okay, so with layered navigation block it's a bit complicated

cotnents with layered navigation block are loaded dynamically without page refresh, so in fact, each "page" is loaded not as a "new" page, but only contents of center block are reloaded.

[armenak]

when I eliminate {if $scenes} from that code and add {if ($p==1) ||$p==''}, category image disappears in the first page , but appears again on all other product pages. Category description still remains on all pages .

 

Don't know what to do to force it to show category image and description only on first page as a sort of intro.

[armenak]

Ok, I see what you mean.

 

But what can be done, in this case, to show category image and description only on first page ?
