Text on category pages

I want to add some text above the product listing on each category page. The text will be different for each category (general information about the products in that category).

I found some information that I may have to have separate ppinc pages for each category.

Is that true and how do I do that?

Thanks

Kasia

Kasia,
No, you don't need different category ppinc files.
Which ppinc file will you be using?

I am using the default ppinc file, although I already made some changes to it in the layout of the products on the page.

Okay, not a problem.
In the database, for each product within a category, choose a user field (IE: user2), for the info to go in. Then put the same info in for each product in that category and repeat for other categories.

Then, in your productPage.inc file, at about line 7, you will find the following:

Code:

$myans .= '<tr><td colspan=3><table width="100%" border=1>'."\n";

Edit it to look like this:

Code:

$myans .= '<tr><td colspan=3><center>%%userFieldTwo%%</center><br><table width="100%" border=1>'."\n";

HTH!

Thank you. It worked on the first page, but not on the "next 10 items" page. I imagine this can also be done. BTW, which inc file is the "next" page?

However there is another issue: the user field allowed me to put only small amount of characters, enough for one sentence. If I want to have a larger text, ie. a full page, is it better to make a static page and link it somehow?

Thanks

Editing the database directly would be better or even editing the manager file that handles the product adding & editing.
How many products do you have in each category? You can change the number of products to display per page in the manager.

BTW, what is the URL to your store?

HTH!

Hello,

The URL is www.shoppoland.com/store

I generally have under ten products in each category, except for two categories. I didn't think of changing the number of items displayed on a page - I will do that, thanks.

Is changing the database and/or the manager to accept more characters (so that I can display long text on top of the category pages) a major job? How do I do it?

Thanks

In the long run, probably editing the manager would be most convenient. Editing the database can be done by downloading data.file from the data_files directory and opening in a plain text editor. Each line is a new product and no line breaks are allowed in the database or it will be interpreted as a new product.

HTH!
