Help With Category Structure Please

Developers Frontend

Hello,

I have just setup a new store, but I wish to change the structure of my category page display.

I want to write a lot of text for SEO purposes, but it's not customer friendly. I wish to have the category description/text located AFTER the displayed products rather than at the top of the page before the grid.

My website/example is here:

https://nightlightsaustralia.com.au/aloka-night-lights/

Here is a bigcommerce site where I changed the structure.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

design/themes/THEME/templates/views/categories/view.tpl

Move the following code to the footer of the file

{if $category_data.description || $runtime.customization_mode.live_editor}
    
{$category_data.description nofilter}

{/if}

If you are familiar with hooks, override the categories:view hook with the My changes module

You may also use HTML block with Smarty support.

Go to Design -> Layouts. Choose Category tab. Add HTML block with Smarty support under the Main Content Block.

Go to the Category page -> Layouts tab. Open smarty block and type the content you want for this category page.

Best regards,

Thank you both so much.

  • eComLabs - I was not able to find the files in the location that you specified.

  • CS-Cart Expert -I was able to implement this - with thanks. I will still persist in find another solution though as I would like to type the text in the formatting window so I can easily add windows - headers, etc.

Ahhh. Fixed it. I added just a HTML block and it give me the wisywig thingy so that I can format text properly.

I really appreciate your help.
