This module adds the same description capabilities to categories as already exists for products.

This is not an accusation, I know you did your own work on this. But is it really necessary to duplicate someone else's contribution?

I released a "Category Descriptions" for OpenCart 1.x back in February (posted on the forum here http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 98&start=0. Although this version is only suitable for use with OpenCart up to version 1.1.8 and is not compatible with later versions.

I updated this for 1.1.9 and later (posted on the forum here http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 385#p16660).

Sure, I'm only making my contributions available from my own website (I have my reasons for that), but they are still free.

Sorry about that, wasn't aware of it, I only looked at the Opencart contributions pages.

Maybe if we had one central place where all the free and commercial contributions could be listed, even if they are located on different servers, that would make things easier.

BTW.: Is your event calendar available for Opencart 1.2.0, too?

That's OK.

In answer to your question. Yes, I will be releasing an updated version of my events calendar sometime in the next couple of days.

We may have to update the files admin/controller/catalog/category.php and /admin/view/template/catalog/category_form.tpl to make sure they work for Opencart 1.2.24, because Daniel introduced the new meta_description field.

Already done
Wow, you guys are fast! Anyway, I am also updating the Export/Import module to support the new meta_description fields, too, in addition to the optional category_description.description field.

I discovered the "meta_description" field when I was updating my Featured/Specials mod. So I thought I'd do the Category Descriptions as well, since I'd incorporated that into it.

Does anyone know of this for version 1.2.8? And one that maybe does the same for the manufacturer products?

If you install Opencart 1.2.9, the category description is already included. Also in 1.2.9, Daniel added the 'meta' field in the manufacturer table.

Worked great for 1.2.8! Do you know of one for a manufacturer off hand? I will send the author of the cat a PM to see if he made one also.

does this work with 1.2.9? i know that in the standard install it allows you to enter a description but it does not show in the main catalog (front end store).

cheers :)
