Brett - I never did get this to work.  I am now using v4.1sp1a.  Yes, you are right, I want the short description to appear in the subcategories, under the subcategory name.  Line 502 or so.]]> Sun, 15 May 2011 00:23:41 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/insert-short-category-description_topic4106_post17522.html#17522 <![CDATA[Insert Short Category Description : avalight wrote:HelloI am trying...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/insert-short-category-description_topic4106_post16707.html#16707 Author: Brett

Neither a file upload nor a PM is needed. Where exactly are you trying to get it to show up? If I understand you correctly, you want to show the short description for all of the sub categories when viewing them on the parent category's viewcategories.asp page. Is this what you're after?]]> Sat, 29 Jan 2011 17:29:22 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/insert-short-category-description_topic4106_post16707.html#16707 <![CDATA[Insert Short Category Description : No, I never got this to work....]]> https://forum.productcart.com/insert-short-category-description_topic4106_post16703.html#16703 Author: avalight

No, I never got this to work.  I just upgraded to v4.1sp1 so now I could look at fixing again.  Is attaching a file to this post what you are talking about? Or a PM?
Thanks

Did you ever get your short category description to display where you want it, Curt?]]> Sat, 29 Jan 2011 07:41:36 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/insert-short-category-description_topic4106_post16692.html#16692 <![CDATA[Insert Short Category Description : Post your viewcategories.asp page...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/insert-short-category-description_topic4106_post16153.html#16153 Author: Brett

I see that the query is including the sDesc, but I will have to assign to the variable pcStrCategorySDesc and do the rest of what you are saying...you make it sound so easy!  NOT!
Seriously, thanks for the help.

Curt - this is almost identical to Brian's thread yesterday.  First you have to make sure that the field you want to use is part of the query in viewCategories.asp.  Next, if that is a new field that you add to the query, you have to capture the value of that field from the recordset - in this case storing the value into a variable named pcStrCategorysDesc. 
 
Carefully clone existing code, recognizing that you are referencing the data in the recordset as an array element.  So you must add this to the end of the original fields being queried, and you have to increment the array index where you store the value into the above variable.  
 
Once you have done that, you can display the field.

Hello
I am trying to get the short category description to appear alongside the Category Name whilst using the subcategory display option "In a list, without images".  I found where this code change would need to be added, in the viewCategories.asp file, right after line 440.  I am using v3.51a.
I think I need to insert the code
<%=pcStrCategorysDesc%>
into line 441, but this needs a value somehow attached to it, which is where my investigative skills get derailed.
--
Can anyone have a quick look and see what other line of code I need?
Thanks
Curt
