Unique text on category template?
 

I apologize if this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find anything here on the boards...

Let's say I have a category called Fruit. If I wanted to display a message on that page utilizing the category name, I would add "Look at our wonderful selection of {$current_category.category} on the customer/home.tpl. Obviously, this would appear on all categories, whether they were fruit, cars, books etc.

Now, if under Fruit I have a sub-category "Apples," the problem I am having is that message is displaying there as well, so the message "Look at our wonderful selection of Apples" would print on the sub-category page..which I don't want.

How could I either:

1. Not have this message appear at all on the sub-category's page or

2. Have this line pull the name of the parent category, so it would still say "Fruit" and not "Apples."

Am I putting this line on the wrong template to begin with? I'm new to Smarty (obviously), and am confused as hell!!

I am currently testing version 4.0.2. Thanks in advance!

you should make use of the array that builds the navigation menu.


That will give you the name of the main root category

Thanks for the reply...this was one of those things that I figured out about 10 minutes after I posted this (and about 4 hours of banging my head off the desk before that..). I actually did it a bit differently, creating and calling an alternate template (home1.tpl) and php file (home1.php). Works like a charm, though I guess I could have done it in an easier fashion #-o
