Hi, you need to load the description from categories table - in multibox, all data from Phoca gallery image table are loaded - so you need to customize the sql query.

Thanks for responding.

Could you tell me the specific changes to code, because you are not confident in php and mysql .

In Multibox, I would like to display the category title and category description.

if i input this code to mutlibox, still dosnt work

Code: Select all

// Category Name Title
if ( $this->tmpl['displaycatnametitle'] == 1) {
	if (isset($this->category->title) && $this->category->title != '') {
		if ($heading != '') {
			$heading .= ' - ';
		}
		$heading .= $this->category->title;
	}
}
// Pagetitle
if ($this->tmpl['showpageheading'] != 1) {
	if ( $heading != '') {
		echo '<h2>' . $heading . '</h2>';
		echo '<h3>' . $this->category->title . '</h3>';
	} 
}
// Category Description
if (isset($this->category->description) && $this->category->description != '' ) {
	echo '<div class="pg-category-view-desc'.$this->params->get( 'pageclass_sfx' ).'">';
	//echo $this->category->description
	echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $this->category->description)
	.'</div>'. "\n";
}

please help

Hi, unfortunately I didn't do such changes yes, so I don't know what exactly needs to be customized there. You should test if the variable $this->category includes the description (e.g. with print_r($this->category)) and when not, you need to check the model for this view, if it is loaded from database
