[Solved] How do i unhide category description?

[animuz1]

A year or so ago I decided to hide the category description text. Now i want to unhide it, but I forgot how i have hidden it. Can someone help me with this?

 

Edit: this code worked for me

{if $category->description}
<div class="cat_desc rte">
{if Tools::strlen($category->description) > 350}
<div id="category_description_short">{$description_short}</div>
<div id="category_description_full" class="unvisible">{$category->description}</div>
<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($category->id_category, $category->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="lnk_more">{l s='More'}</a>
{else}
<div>{$category->description}</div>
{/if}
</div>
{/if}

That would be in your theme's category.tpl file. Add this code wherever you want the description, by default inside the "{if $scenes || $category->description || $category->id_image}" block:

{if $category->description}
	<div class="cat_desc">
		<p>{$category->description}</p>
		<a href="#" class="lnk_more">{l s='More'}</a>
	</div>
{/if}

Paste the same code inside the same file (category.tpl) right before this code (towards the end of the file):

{elseif !isset($subcategories)}
   <p class="warning">{l s='There are no products in this category.'}</p>
{/if}

I found a post on the forum that did exactly what i wanted:

 

Pasted this in my category.tpl:

{if $category->description}
<div class="cat_desc rte">
{if Tools::strlen($category->description) > 350}
<div id="category_description_short">{$description_short}</div>
<div id="category_description_full" class="unvisible">{$category->description}</div>
<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($category->id_category, $category->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="lnk_more">{l s='More'}</a>
{else}
<div>{$category->description}</div>
{/if}
</div>
{/if}

You are welcome ;-), if you don't mind please edit the title on your first post and add the word "SOLVED". Thanks.

I am very happy with the result. Only ine problem is my text is too large and it automatically shortens it by creating a read more pull down, I do not wish to have this read more option, but have it visible at all times. How do i manage that?

You would have to change the code you inserted:

{if $category->description}
  <div class="cat_desc rte">
    {if Tools::strlen($category->description) > 350}
      <div id="category_description_short">{$description_short}</div>
      <div id="category_description_full" class="unvisible">{$category->description}</div>
      <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($category->id_category, $category->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="lnk_more">{l s='More'}</a>
    {else}
      <div>{$category->description}</div>
    {/if}
  </div>
{/if}

to this:

{if $category->description}
  <div class="cat_desc rte">
      <div>{$category->description}</div>
  </div>
{/if}
