Category Description / Summary (R8/Gold)

I am in the final days of our site upgrade and am having trouble displaying the Category Description. I am using CategoryGridPage2.ascx and have made the modifications needed to display the product summary. However, the Category Description is not behaving as expected.
This is what I am using to display the description:
Code: Select all
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="CategoryDescriptionPanel" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
<asp:Literal ID="CategoryDescription" runat="server" Text="" EnableViewState="false" />
<br /><br />
</asp:PlaceHolder>
Codebehind:
Code: Select all
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 = true;
}
}
else
{
CategoryHeaderPanel.Visible = true;
}
BindSearchResultsPanel();
}
What am I missing? Any help is MUCH appreciated!!
Thanks,
Simone

I have tested your code and it worked for me. How do you want to display the description? Are you applying CategoryGridPage2 to all those display pages where you want to show description?

BTW you can use CategoryGridPage4 which is coded to display description/summary for categories.

Ok, maybe there is something else preventing the description from displaying.

You are trying this in two different places- BindPage() and Page_Load
Code: Select all
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 = true;
}
Code: Select all
if (_Category != null)
{
Page.Title = string.IsNullOrEmpty(_Category.Title) ? _Category.Name : _Category.Title;
CategoryBreadCrumbs1.CategoryId = this.CategoryId;
Caption.Text = _Category.Name;
CategoryDescription.Text = _Category.Summary;
}
else
{
// IT IS ROOT CATEGORY
Page.Title = DefaultCaption;
CategoryBreadCrumbs1.CategoryId = this.CategoryId;
Caption.Text = DefaultCaption;
CategoryDescription.Text = DefaultCategorySummary;
}
Try taking it out of the Page_Load for starters.

I did just notice something else in your page.
You must be using the WAP version of Able, which means that any changes you make to the CodeBehind file will not be picked up until you recompile the project.
If you use the WSP version of Able, you don't need to do that.

Yes, Judy is right. You are using WAP version, therefore, you need to recompile the project to reflect the changes. I just recompiled your code and got number of compilation errors. After fixing all those errors, category description shows up for me using your code. So the bottom line is recompile your code.
