[SOLVED] Matrice theme: category description isn't displayed?

[craftychic]

I'd like the category description to show at the top of the category page - above the products.

I'm having a hard time understanding why this doesn't work. category.tpl reads:

{if $category->description}

{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}
       {$category->description}

   {/if}

[craftychic]

bump. Anyone?

Hi, I am new here but I think can help you out a little bit. If you add an image in the category along with the description, the description will appear(along with the image) above the products. If you add a description without a image you will only get the description when you hover over the category and will not appear above the products

Thank you for the new perspective!! I just took another look and realized the IF statement for the description is nested inside the IF statement for the image... so I moved the description down a few lines (outside of the div) and it works! Finally!!

{if $category->id_image}
     
     <!--getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category')}" alt="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" id="categoryImage" />-->
   {if $category->description}

{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}
       {$category->description}

   {/if}

   {/if}

it works for me...have a try
