I am using three columns to show products in my subcategories using shopdisplaycategories.asp.
I would like to show catmemo at the top to explain about the subcategory. And I like to show this across at the top of shopdisplaycategories.asp, not in one of columns.
Can I do this ? If so, could anyone give me some advices how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
yes you can. Just add your header htm file to the Cat Extra field of the category that the products are assigned to.

OK, finally I have something useful to add!
A simple way to add the catmemo field (not the catextra) to shopdisplayproducts.asp, assuming you can get just a little dirty in the code.
You'll need to edit two files: shopheaders.asp and shopdisplayproducts.asp.
In shopheaders.asp, somewhere around line 118 you will find:
setsess "Dynamicdescription",Removehtmlheaders(rs("catmemo"), "<br />")
Immediately following that line, insert the following code:
' start set session var for catmemo to display under category name
Dim DynCatMemo
setsess "DynCatMemo",rs("catmemo")
' end set session var for catmemo to display under category name
Then, in shopdisplayproducts.asp, somewhere around line 155 you will find:
Response.Write "<h1>" & Category & " </h1>"
Immediately following that line, insert the following code:
' start catmemo to display under category name
Response.Write "<p align=left>" & getsess("DynCatMemo") & " </p>"
' end catmemo to display under category name
This creates a session var named "DynCatMemo" which you can use to display the catmemo field on the page. That way, you can just enter your text in the catmemo field instead of having to mess with creating and uploading HTML files. You can edit the <p> tag to fit the CSS of your site as you need to.
Hopefully this is helpful to someone. |

Answerman, thank you SOOOOOO much!!! You bet that info is helpful! I've been looking for a way to do just that for years! WOW!!!! I'll now go create some fabulous information to put in the catmemo field for each of my categories! Sorry, I can't really show you because ours is a registered-users only site - we're manufacturers/wholesalers. Still, trust me, this is magic for me now! Very excited about this, can you tell??? Thanks for posting!
regards,
Allegro
Thanks,

I''m using vpasp 7.0 which I customized for this purpose.
I created an extra field in the categories table named catdetails. Some customization is needed in the shopa_addcategory.asp page in order to have the htmleditor for that field. Then, in shopdisplaycategories.asp and shopdisplayproducts.asp, I inserted in the ShowCategoryImage subroutine a new line : ShopTemplateWrite "tmp_categorydetails.htm", rs, rc. In this way, a template tmp_categorydetails.htm can be used for the layout of the category header, including the image.
Take a look for it''s result on the following page:

Maybe an idea for a next vpasp release.
