Second time today.

I'm really depressed about it. Time for a drink!

2 in one day. #-o Sure you didnt start drinking earlier? :lol:

May,
I think the fix for your problem is in this bit of code from subcategories.tpl

Quote:

<td align=left><a class="alt" href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">
{$subcategories[cat_num].category|escape}</a>

{$subcategories[cat_num].description|escape}
{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}

Delete |escape from $subcategories[cat_num].description so you have this:

Quote:

and that should fix it.

THANK YOU!! That did the trick :-)

I would love to implement this mod but I am really new to x-cart and have version 4.0.5....and wonder if anyone has implemented on this version?

I read through the entire post and am afraid I would screw it up. Wonder if anyone can post exact steps to implement?

It would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks,

Dalmuti

Bobby,

Thanks for the code, but it still doesn't work on my site. Any other suggestions?

I have implemented this on 4.0.6 and it works with one small modification.

All you have to do is edit the skin1/customer/main/subcategories.tpl file

and replace the code with this

Code:

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.43.2.2 2004/10/07 07:08:51 max Exp $ *}

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}








{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}

{/if}








{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"

"}



{/if}

{capture name=dialog}

{assign var="tmp" value="0"}

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

{if $subcategories[cat_num].category}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if}

{/section}





{* ==================== Sub categories mod start *}



{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

{ if %cat_num.first% }

<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">

{/if}

{ if %cat_num.index% is div by 2}

<tr>

{/if}

<td align="center" valign="top">

<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">

[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}[/img]</a>






<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">

<font size="3">{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</font></a>










{ $subcategories[cat_num].description|escape }

{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}

{if $subcategories[cat_num].product_count}




({ $subcategories[cat_num].product_count } Products)

{elseif $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count}

({ $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count } Subcategories)

{/if}

{/if}

</td>

{ if %cat_num.last% }

</tr>

</table>

{/if}

{/section}



{* ==================== Sub categories mod end *}





{if $tmp and $products ne "" }

<BR clear="left">

<HR size="1" noshade>

{/if}

{if $products}

{if $sort_fields}

<DIV align="right">{include file="main/search_sort_by.tpl" sort_fields=$sort_fields selected=$search_prefilled.sort_field direction=$search_prefilled.sort_direction url="home.php?cat=`$cat`&"}</DIV>

{/if}

{if $total_pages gt 2}






{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

{/if}

<HR size="1" width="100%">

{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$products}

{/if}

{if $products eq "" and $tmp eq "0"}

{$lng.txt_no_products_in_man}

{/if}

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$current_category.category content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

{if $products eq ""}

{if $f_products ne ""}








{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl"}

{/if}

{/if}

{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

That works perfect in 4.05 as well.

Thanks so much for the code.
