[solved] How to edit the /home page

[Matt_BC]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking to edit the /home page on the website.

 

http://hellosofas.com/home

 

In particular, I'm looking to remove the category description text from the top that duplicates the description text of the category pages.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

you want to remove all descriptions or maybe just for certain categories?

Hi Vekia,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I want to remove all of the category descriptions for the /home/ page (whilst obviously keeping them on the actual category pages) - it is causing duplicate content issues for SEO.

okay, so you have to:

 

open the category.tpl file located in your theme directory

 

{if $subcategory.description}
  <p class="cat_desc">{$subcategory.description}</p>
{/if}

 

 

change code above to:

{if Tools::getValue('id_category')!=2}
 {if $subcategory.description}
  <p class="cat_desc">{$subcategory.description}</p>
 {/if}
{/if}

 

and that's all, all descriptions of subcategories on home category will disappear

enjoy!

That works perfectly. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

 

I want to edit the template, how can i do this?

 

because  i tried a lot with manage hooks, but no success.

 

Eg. I have one module hook location on bootstrap page is in column div. I want to take out that module and place in wider section ( in container div )
