For those who would like Categories to have a long description, please have a look at the following

I can't download it from http://www.opencart.com/contribution/in ... tion_id/36, I always get the error message


Warning:  filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /home/opencart/public_html/opencart/download/category_descriptions.zip.1203035114 in /home/opencart/public_html/opencart/library/download.php on line 33

Warning:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/opencart/public_html/opencart/library/download.php:33) in /home/opencart/public_html/opencart/library/download.php on line 33



Having said that, I did exactly the same a month ago on some live servers, by adding the DB column 'description' to the 'category' table. At the moment I can only edit the 'description' field via the Export/Import to/from Spreadsheet function, or via PHPMyAdmin. I assume in your solution it can also be edited from the online OpenCart's admin interface, hence I'd be interested in downloading your ZIP-file and trying it out.

Thank you.

I have now downloaded and installed it. Works fine!

For those who are interested in combining Bruce's Categories with Descriptions with my Bulk Export/Import contribution: They are fully compatible, because my contribution has been supporting the category description as an additional optional database table column, too, and we both happened to choose the same name and type for it: category_description.description

This seems to be broken again with the following error returned:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/opencart/public_html/opencart/library/cache.php on line 39

UPDATE 24.3.08 11.15 GMT:  Now seems to be fixed!  Thanks  :)
