I use the Category Grid with Basket Options when showing any product. Is there a way to alter the [[ConLib:CategoryGridPage3]] to include the "description" above.... same as shown using "Category Grid with Category Data" ? I suppose I could make an individual scriptlet for each page but seems more complex then it should be..

Thanks

You can do that- just take whatever display code is showing the description from the other page and put code from both ascx and cs files into the category grid 3

Ok well I opened those files in category grid 4. To try and see if I could find the relevant code.... The problem is I am not a code guy so I am not sure where stuff starts and ends. the cs file contains this which looks like it might be it but not sure what is supposed to be included and what not:

private void BindPage()
{
CategoryBreadCrumbs1.Visible = DisplayBreadCrumbs;
CategoryBreadCrumbs1.CategoryId = this.CategoryId;

//BIND THE DISPLAY ELEMENTS
if (IsValidCategory())
{
if (_Category != null)
{
Page.Title = _Category.Name;
Caption.Text = _Category.Name;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(_Category.Description))
{
CategoryDescriptionPanel.Visible = true;
CategoryDescription.Text = _Category.Description;
}
else CategoryDescriptionPanel.Visible = false;
}
else
{
// IF IT IS ROOT CATEGORY
Page.Title = DefaultCaption;
Caption.Text = DefaultCaption;
CategoryDescriptionPanel.Visible = false;
}
}
else
{
CategoryHeaderPanel.Visible = false;
}
BindSearchResultsPanel();



The ascx seems like this would be it ??




<asp:PlaceHolder ID="CategoryDescriptionPanel" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
<asp:Literal ID="CategoryDescription" runat="server" Text="" EnableViewState="false" />
<br /><br />
</asp:PlaceHolder>


Can anyone offer guidence on what exactley I place into the category grid 3 to get the description to show?? Thanks

You would put this code into the code behind in the BindPage() event Then in the markup (.ascx file) you would put this wherever you want the description to show

That worked perfectly, thanks for your help on this. Chris
