[solved] How can I add an extra text block to the pages category in Prestashop 1.7.8.9?

[Frits van Leeuwen]

Hello all,

I would like to know, how to add an extra text block to the pages category in Prestashop 1.7.8.9? Under the category title I have an introductory text. Below are my products.

But I also want to be able to put a text under it.

Who knows how I can do that?

Thank you in advance,

To add extra text block to the category page , you can follow the below steps :

1. Open the below file 

Path : Theme/{Your-Theme}/templates/catalog/listing/product-list.tpl

2. Modify the template file: Open the product-list.tpl file located in the appropriate theme directory (e.g., /themes/your_theme/templates/catalog/listing/product-list.tpl). Add the desired extra text content within the appropriate section of the file.

For example, you can add the extra text content at the beginning of the category page, right after the {block name='page_content_container'}:

{block name='page_content_container'}
    <div class="extra-content">
        <p>This is the extra text content.</p>
    </div>
{/block}

3. Clear the PrestaShop cache and Refresh the category page.

By following these steps, you should be able to add extra text content to the category page.

Thanks for your message. 

I'm afraid that if I change the template, I will have to redo my change after an update of that template.
