Displaying Custom Field Description under SubCategories?

[bshaf]

Hi Matt,

It works! I would have played with this for weeks and not figured it out. The problem was two things, three if you count the fact that I was stuck in the first place. The underscore (thank you) was an issue, and the code was missing the following on line 11:

<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Category_ID(l.settings:sub_category:id, 'ctgy_discounts', l.settings:sub_category:cf:ctgy_discounts)"/>

So for those of us looking to add a description below the subcategory links on a parent category's page, here it is.

1. Create a Custom Category Field under Utilities, call it whatever you want, but don't use a dash.
2. Make sure you have the items "customfields" and "subcategory_listing" enabled.
3. Copy the code below and overwrite the Content (subcategory_listing) box in your CTGY page.
4. Change the code to rename the Custom Category Field to the name you chose in the 4 places in bold.
5. Enter some content in the Custom Field you made under your subcategories

<mvt:foreach array="cattree_categories" iterator="cattree_category">
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:cattree_category:parent_id EQ l.settings:category:id">
        <mvt:assign name="l.null" value="miva_array_insert(l.settings:subcats, l.settings:cattree_category, -1)" />
    </mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>

<mvt:assign name="l.settings:subcat_count" value="miva_array_elements(l.settings:subcats)" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcats GT 0">
    <div class="row bg-white main-content-row sub-category-layout">
        <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category" array="subcats">
            <mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Category_ID(l.settings:sub_category:id, 'ctgy_discounts', l.settings:sub_category:cf:ctgy_discounts)"/>

            <mvt:comment><!-- Load First Product From Sub Category & It's resized Main image --></mvt:comment>
            <mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:sub_category:image AND ISNULL l.settings:category:cf:category_hide_sub_category_images">
                <mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.result" value="Runtime_ProductList_Load_Offset_Category( l.settings:sub_category:id, 1, 1, l.settings:sub_category:sub_products:next_offset, l.settings:sub_category:sub_products:list )" />
                <mvt:assign name="l.settings:sub_category:product" value="l.settings:sub_category:sub_products:list[1]" />
                <mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.settings:sub_category:product:image_count" value="ProductImageDataList_Load_Product(l.settings:sub_category:product:id, l.settings:sub_category:product:images)" />
                <mvt:foreach iterator="image" array="sub_category:product:images">
                    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:image:imagetype:code EQ 'main'">

                        <mvt:foreachstop/>

                </mvt:if>
            </mvt:if>

            </div>

    </div><!-- end sub-category listings -->
</mvt:if>

Thank you so much for helping me,
