Category Description On The Catalog Page

I'm working on the catalog.override.tpl file and trying to have it display the category image, description and other elements on the main catalog page.



The code i'm using is the following


```php

{hook name=“categories:catalog”}

{split data=$root_categories size=$columns|default:“3” assign=“splitted_categories”}


{foreach from=$splitted_categories item="scats"}

{foreach from=$scats item="category"}
{if $category}

{/if}
{/foreach}
{/foreach}



{capture name="mainbox_title"}{$title}{/capture}
{/hook}
```

I've tried adding $category.description, and it didnt work.
I tried $category_data.description, not working either.

Please help! Thank you
