embedding links into subcategory descriptions

[billybo]

does anyone know if there is a way i can embed html links into the subcategory description? alterntively, does anyone know what it is marked as in phpmyadmin? i may be able to add the html there, but i cannot find it in the database.

thanks a lot..

Hi Billybo,

John, you need to login to the prestashop database in phpmyadmin, then click on ps_category_lang. this will list your categories. all you then need to do is click on the one you need to edit and then add the html code for the link you wish to embed.

I am also looking to embed HTML in category description.
I think it is not such a good idea to do it directly on the DB.
Probably best to look in the PHP code, to see who is stripping HTML tags, and remove that code.

In particular, I am looking for a way to insert HTML code through the import process - so I want to place HTML description that will be inserted without being stripped of all its glory

Anyone attempted this / knows where I should look?
