{$current_category.description}

Thanks a lot ChristineP, that's very close to what I'm looking for

Unfortunately, I'm trying to get it load outside of that page. (The home front page)

Whenever I tried to load $current_category.description foreach category. It won't load.

It will load the IDs which concurrently allows the images and the links to load. But the description doesn't load and I'm wondering how to get that to work. Any ideas?

Rename the attached file to 'debug_templates.tpl' and replace the original in skin1. Open the client's side with webmaster mode enable and search in the debug window for $cat, $categories and see if description is in the arrays and what the variable name is

Code:
{$current_category}Array (18)
categoryid => "155"
parentid => "0"
categoryid_path => "155"
category => "Access Control Hardware"
description => "test 01"
meta_descr => ""
avail => "Y"
views_stats => "256"
order_by => "0"
threshold_bestsellers => "1"
product_count => "59"
meta_keywords => ""
is_icon => "Y"
image_path => "./images/C/01.gif"
subcategory_count => "4"
category_name_orig => "Access Control Hardware"
category_location => Array (1)
  0 => Array (2)
    0 => "Access Control Hardware"
    1 => "home.php?cat=155"
icon_url => "http://www.qualitydoor.com/images/C/0..."

This is what I got, it seems to be "description" but { $cat.description } doesn't work. I'll use this information to experiment s'more

Enclosed is the entire statistics for this one page.

I see that, which makes me think, maybe the variable is rewritten in mine or something... Thanks for going to such lengths to help me out

What you are showing is $currect_category.description. Looking at your debug file for $cat you have just 155

Yeah... I tried placing { $current_category.description } and { $cat.current_category.description } within the foreach tags.

Thought it might have a chance.

So... Is there anyway I could define the current code that I have within $current_category?

I tried setting {foreach from=$current_category item=cat} but then it wouldn't show the images or the descriptions.

Code is still

Code:
<div class="bot_cat" align="left">
{foreach from=$categories item=cat}
<a class="bot_products" href="home.php?cat={ $cat.categoryid }"><img src="{$xcart_web_dir}/image.php?id={ $cat.categoryid }&amp;type=C" alt="" />{ $cat.categoryid }
</a>{/foreach}
</div>
