You can see it here: http://www.hahana.com.au/hot-stone-massage-australia

It's been automatically added by ckeditor in admin. I would like to be able to use <b></b> tags, etc in the category description.

$this->data['description'] = $category_info['description'];

$this->data['description'] = html_entity_decode($category_info['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

EDIT - actually, this isn't working correctly. It's using the parent category thumb, not the individual thumb from each sub-category.

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

  <?php } ?>
  <?php if ($categories) { ?>
  <h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $text_sub_category; ?></h2>
  <div class="category-list">
    <?php if (count($categories) <= 5) { ?>
    <ul>
      <?php foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
      <li><?php if ($thumb) { ?><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumb; ?>" alt="<?php echo $heading_title; ?>" img style="vertical-align:middle" /><?php } ?>
<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $category['name']; ?></a></b></li>
      <?php } ?>
    </ul>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($categories);) { ?>
    <ul>
      <?php $j = $i + ceil(count($categories) / 4); ?>
      <?php for (; $i < $j; $i++) { ?>
      <?php if (isset($categories[$i])) { ?>
      <li><?php if ($thumb) { ?><a href="<?php echo $categories[$i]['href']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumb; ?>" alt="<?php echo $heading_title; ?>" img style="vertical-align:middle" /><?php } ?>
<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $categories[$i]['name']; ?></a></b></li>
      <?php } ?>
      <?php } ?>
    </ul>
    <?php } ?>
    <?php } ?>
  </div>

$this->data['categories'][] = array(
'name'  => ($this->config->get('news_setting_article_count')) ? $result['name'] . ' (' . $article_total . ')' : $result['name'],
'href'  => $this->url->link('news/category', 'npath=' . $this->request->get['npath'] . '_' . $result['news_category_id'] . $url),
);

'thumb' => $this->model_tool_image->resize(($result['image']) ? ($result['image']) : 'news_logo.png', 100, 100),

<?php if ($thumb) { ?><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumb; ?>

Code: Select all

<?php if ($thumb) { ?><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $categories[$i]['thumb']; ?>

I think that the code in the previous post should work for less than 5 sub-categories.

$this->data['no_image'] = $this->model_tool_image->resize('no_image.jpg', 100, 100);

This code was missing from admin/controller/news/article.php:

Code: Select all

$this->data['no_image'] = $this->model_tool_image->resize('no_image.jpg', 100, 100);

Should be after:

Code: Select all

		$this->load->model('tool/image');
