How to add category title and description on the category page ? (category.tpl)

[mehdi09]

Hello everyone,

I created a website last year using PrestaShop 1.5.6.1 and TimeShop theme.

I have a question and I hope someone could help me.

How can I display the category title and description under the category image on the category page ?

For example, you can see this page alive :http://www.tamel.fr/7-sites-internet I would like to display the category title and description under the image, or above on this page. Is it possible ? If not, is it possible to display it on the right column ? It cans be very good too.

 

I think that I have to modify the themes/timeshop/category.tpl file and I don't know how to call the category title and description data.

	<!-- 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"/>
		</div>
		{/if}
		

I think it's there. I read the documentation on the web, but as a non-developer, I didn't find what I need : How to call the category title and description on the category.tpl file ?

 

Thanks a lot for your help

hello mehdi09

in your category.tpl file just add

<span class="category-descctiption-name">
            {strip}
                {$category->name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
                {$category->description}
            {/strip}
</span>

just below the category image. you will able to see the name and description about that category.

you're asking about internal prestashop variables that you can use in smarty? or about "global" smarty variables / functions?
