X-Cart forums - Calling and Displaying Category Description within a List.

Here is the page I am currently working on:

http://10000waves.xynergy.com/FloatingWorld/home.php

You'll see 4 categories tiled underneath the large advertisement image. Each of the categories currently display the Category Name and the Category Icon. I am trying modify the page so that the Category Description is also displayed underneath the Category Name.

Here is the code I have so far within a custom tpl file I've created for this page:

Code:

{* $Id: category-index.tpl,v 1. 2005/11/20 15:15:49 mclap Exp $ *}

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"  class="border-white" style="background-color:#4D79A0;">

  <tr>

    <td><div align="left">

        <a href="home.php?cat={$categories[2].categoryid}">

        [img]GRAPHICS/store-main.gif[/img]

        </a>

        






</div>

      <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

      <tr>

        <td valign="top">[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/icon.php?categoryid={$categories[0].categoryid}[/img]




            

</td>

        <td valign="top"><div style="margin-left:5px; margin-right:5px;"> {$categories[0].category} 




        {$categories[0].description|escape:"html"}

                 </div></td>

        <td valign="top">[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/icon.php?categoryid={$categories[1].categoryid}[/img]

</td>

        <td valign="top"><div style="margin-left:5px; margin-right:5px;"> {$categories[1].category} 




        {$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"




"} </div></td>

      </tr>

      <tr>

        <td>[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/icon.php?categoryid={$categories[2].categoryid}[/img]




        </td>

        <td valign="top"><div style="margin-left:5px; margin-right:5px;"> {$categories[2].category} 




        {$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"




"} </div></td>

        <td>[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/icon.php?categoryid={$categories[3].categoryid}[/img]




        </td>

        <td valign="top"><div style="margin-left:5px; margin-right:5px;"> {$categories[3].category} 




        {$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"




"} </div></td>

      </tr>

    </table></td>

  </tr>

</table>

I have tried calling the category using the standard:

Code:

$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"




"}

As well as:

Code:

{$categories[2].description}

both to no avail.

Is there other syntax I can use to call this variable?
