I am trying to increase my content on category pages as we only have a small area at the top of our pages for the category description for around 70 words and would like to add a second description to the bottom of the pages which we can add 200 - 400 words. Any ideas how i could do this? Thanks Andy

I have a question about the category description (for seo purposes), its fairly long and its pushing the products way down the page. For the category description area, is it possible to move it at the bottom of the page instead of the top of the page (i.e right now its before the category products, would prefer to move below the category products). This may not be possible but I thought I would ask you just in case. I look forward to hearing back from the community on this answer.

I want to display my category description on my product category listing page, I used this code; description:{$category->description} But it only showed the 'description:' Can anyone let me know what I did wrong here? Thanks in advanced

Hello,. I was wondering if there is a modul to show the category description on left column instead the top header as usually , I´ve seen something like that on zal.ando . Thank you.

Hi, I'm finding this one quiet tricky.. What I want to do is move the Category Description to above HOOK_LEFT and CENTER_CONTENT to display full width just under the breadcrumbs but above the left nav and product list. I have tried placing the code from category.tpl into the header.tpl just above the left hook which works but of course this also replicates the entire product list/center content. Any genius way of doing this without replicating the product list and removing the existing category in the center content would be greatly appreciated..

The first sentence of the category description wrongly shows twice http://todo-yoga.net/28-danza-oriental anybody knows why?

Hello, I was playing around with the category.tpl file when i noticed that the following paragraph by default from prestashop is set to display:none <p id="category_description_full" style="display:none">{$category->description}</p> In the category page when i inspect element and set the value from the display tag instead of "none" to "block" suddenly the category description is displaying two times. The most interesting part is that when i diagnosis the page with a SEO tool i get a Text/HTML ratio on the page of 21%. After i completely remove that line of code from the category.tpl file and despite the fact that nothing visual is changing i get a Text/HTML ratio on the page of 17%. Does anyone know what in Good its going on? Is this affecting the page SEO from the search engines point of view? Because if that line of code was recognized by the SEO tool (Seo Quick) the search engines will also recognized it and in that case wee are dealing with duplicated content that harms the site position in search engines. I'm using PS 1.5.1 Thanks.

Hello, I have seen in Prestashop that each category description is shown in source code of the home page, and this description is shown with a title tag. Is it normal to use a title tag for this? (products description are also shown in home page) This way it could be possible that you have a keyword with 4 times repetition in your home (suppose you want to optimize your home page for this keyword), but in the home source code this keyword could repeat a much bigger number of times, maybe around 200 times if you have a complete description of your categories. This could be usual: for example if you have a toy shop, it could be unavoidable to repeat the word toy en each category description so that your home page source code would a have a very big repetition of the keyword toy...Could it be interpreted as SPAM by google and your website penalized? if you want to have a good and detailed description for each category (I think this is good for google position...), I think it can be difficult to control this aspect so maybe it is better to have shorter descriptions..What do you think? Thanks

I'm currently working on http://tinyurl.com/cp4yyxg I need to move the category description. The category description is actually an accordion when you click on the title the whole thing expands. I need to move the category description so it looks like this http://gyazo.com/e0489f14efa94e1b75b2c95eb3ff4754 so it pushes the sidebar down when expanded. I would assume I would need to call this in via the header.tpl is this correct ?
