Hello,

<Note: I have no PHP knowledge - I had hoped this would be a minor change...>

Searching around, I read that others have been able to modify they way their category pages display.

In case I'm not using the correct name - the page where products are listed.

Goal: Move the category description BELOW the subcategory icons.

Purpose: I have lots of subcategories and a lot of content for SEO purposes - the subcategory icons get pushed below the threshold and hurts navigation and conversion.

Problem: I have tried modifying templates/content/index_nested.tpl to no avail - in fact, any edits to it seem to have no effect at all. The same goes for includes/modules/product_listing.php.

Questions: Is there another way to edit these pages that I am missing? Could there be a different file to modify I am unaware of? Has anyone done this before successfully and can point me in the right direction?


Thank you.


Edit:

When I view the source on my page, the section I wanted to edit starts with

Code:
Bof content.index_nested.tpl.php


It does feel like I'm in the right area...just having no effect.

Maybe you have more than one index_nested.tpl.php ... have you checked the template you're using for an additional /content folder ?

Yes, I have looked and it appears to be the only instance of this file.

Perhaps I'm just doing it wrong. I tried simply moving this code down the page.
Code:
<td><h1 class="pageHeading"><?php echo $heading_text; ?></h1>
              <?php if ( (ALLOW_CATEGORY_DESCRIPTIONS == 'true') && (isset($category) && tep_not_null($category['categories_description'])) ) {  echo '<span class="category_desc">' . $category['categories_description'] . '</span>'; } ?>
            </td>


Later, I tried just trying to get it to produce a "Hello, World" by randomly placing an echo, but no dice.

Quicker if you posted a link or a screenshot of a page ... too hard to guess at this stuff; we don't know what template you're using, what version you're using, you're not clear on php (presumably html either) so could be pasting code into 'dead areas' eg conditional loops, hence nothing is happening ...
