{pddescription} without effect

[d4W]

Hi,

in the categories view i would like not only to display the titels but also an unique image of each category. I tried to implement that by including a picture into the description of a category and afterwords including the placeholder {pddescription} into the categories view layout in the layout section of Phoca Downloads control center. The effect is... nothing! But in the description for the categories view on the right near the editor for the sections display I can find the placeholder {pddescription}. So it should work.

Following my code:

Code: Select all

<div class="pd-categoriesbox">
	<div class="pd-title">{pdtitle}</div>
	<div class="pd-desc">{pddescription}</div>
	<div>{pdsubcategories} {pdclear}</div>
</div>

To prevent misunderstandings because I am working with the german version/language:
Into the Phoca Downloads control center I use the first editor in the layout section. If I understand that right this should affect the categories view, i. e. the list of all categories.

Thanks for every help!

Hi, testing now, and it works Ok for me?

Did you set the parameter: Display Main Category Description to YES in Options

The rules about displaying description applies to both layouts (standard or default)
