Ok for starters in subcategories.tpl

replace

{capture name=dialog} 
{assign var="tmp" value="0"} 

with

{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}

Right above the start of the Mod. This will lose the extra text saying that there are no products.

I'm working on the other issue.

Hello adpboss,

Thank you for your mod, worked great.

[mcmann]

First thanks for this MOD, it was just what I was looking for

I'm hoping someone can help me here

I'm using this MOD successfully on our site, with one problem.

If I use any html code in my description all the codes show in the description created next to the image.
http://www.wahmboutique.com/boutique/customer/home.php?cat=303
The code is applied correctly above the subcategory name when you open the subcategory.
http://www.wahmboutique.com/boutique/customer/home.php?cat=302

Is there a way to fix this and if so, can someone lead me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
May

May,
Can you post your subcategories.tpl and your subcat description for Lil Mermaids?

I'll get the code in a bit, but for the description - the only html used in the description right now is a

I was hoping that someone would help me in troubleshooting this script. I implemented the script and see the extra columns with icons, but I don't get the descriptions or product counts.

Here is a link to one of my categories: http://www.eartpark.com/home.php?cat=253

Here is a link to one of the sub-categories: http://www.eartpark.com/home.php?cat=263

As you can see, there is a text description in the sub-category. Why would it not display?

Here is the code that I am using in subcategories.tpl:

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.29 2002/11/26 14:55:13 alfiya Exp $ *} 
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"} 


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


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

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 

{ if %cat_num.first% } 
<table border=0 cellspacing=5 width=100%> 
{/if} 

  {if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 2} 
     </tr><tr valign="top"> 
  {/if} 

   <td valign="top" width="70" align="center">

   </a> 
   </td> 
   <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"} 


<font class=Text>

{elseif $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count} 
{ $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count } {$lng.lbl_categories|lower} 
{/if} 
</font> 
{/if} 

 
   </td> 

{ if %cat_num.last% }

Add this to get the description

 
{$products[product].descr|truncate:300:"...":true}

Thanks for the quick reply, but shouldn't the description for the subcategories come from something that looks like this? The code you sent looks like what I would use for product descriptions...

{$subcategories[cat_num].category|escape}

[adpboss]

You are correct. I have made a bo-bo.

[lildawg]

WHAT??? You of all people have made a boo bo? I never thought I would see the day.
