Free Module Category Footer Description [genzo_category]

[wakabayashi]

Hello Guys

I am developing a little module for category pages. It will allow you to add a second description to a category page. Why is it helpful? That way you can use the core description as a little teaser at the top. My module will add a second description at the footer. This is extremly helpful if you are interested in SEO. Such en html edit tab will be added to every category in the BO.

The module is multilang and multistore ready!

@haylau Has created a blog post and a video about the module. It explains everything perfect. Please check out: https://blog.haylau-4-thirtybees.co.uk/genzo-category-free-module/.

nice, can I get one, I'm thirtybees patron :)

@dosbiner wrote you a pn!

[wakabayashi]

I just switched the module on my live site. Here is an example: https://www.spielezar.ch/kartenspiele#footer_description

[Pedalman]

Damn, I am a patreon but bought already such a module 6 months ago :)

But good news is, I have not installed it on live version due to missing time. So I'd like to give yours a shot. PS: I bought that one cause I was not able to code what I intended to do. I wanted to implement the option to break given category description into two parts. In wanted to clone original one and then I wanted to make use of a second table for as many chars the user likes. The shorter version should then be hooked into left column since I heard that Google likes text near the viewports top. Especially for optimisation of mobile pages where left column seems to appear before the standard category description, right?

PS: wakabayashi, which PayPal module are you running? I wrote an issue today in the PayPal section here and need a solution urgently.

[wakabayashi]

@Pedalman I dont use a paypal module. We use it only since a few weeks and its mollie. If you collect money in € its really good. For us its quite expensive, since everything is changed into swiss francs.

[dosbiner]

thank you, this module works as @wakabayashi said :)

[rubben1985]

Patreon here, I would like to give it a try and do some test :)

[wakabayashi]

@rubben1985 sent you the module in PM

[rubben1985]

Well it just gives you the option to ad more text content. The work has to be done from yourself :) You have a pm

[wakabayashi]

Is somebody using this module on his shop? I probably have to release 1.1 soon, as I found an issue, when adding a new language to your store. So if you found any issue or have other improvement suggestion, please place it here 🙂

[wakabayashi]

Ok I have just internally released v.1.1.0. This version fixes the issue of adding a new language and has a much cleaner way of using object model. If you are patreon, I can send you the new version. Just write here in the thread.

I do already have this feateure in Warehouse theme so I don't need this module but I think it's a good way of trying go make people Patreons. Maybe we can add up more bonuses for Patreons and make it more valuable to become one.

[danwarrior]

We had an option with Panda theme using the Advanced Custom Content, wich I activated just in footer category position. But I sounds great! 

I'm patreon too and I'd like to motivate people to become, so if you are ok and can send it to me too, I'll make a video showing it on a demo site and publish on Youtube 😉

[Pedalman]

At least I know that in Warehouse you only have the option of either top or bottom. Here, Waka, adds a module that allows both !

Advantage? Better UX and SEO perhaps. You start with small cat descrpt. at top and continue at bottom without "JS more..." button. That it I think it is about.

[wakabayashi]

@Pedalman Yes that is the intention of the module.

@Briljander I am working on a new module for products tags. But I am not yet sure, if and how I will release it.

@danwarrior I will send you the module right now. Would be cool, if you can test it a little.

Hi

I have finally gotten down to actually installing the module to start using it ..Can I ask. Is there a way to remove the image block so the text appears higher up as it looks like dead space at the moment.. It's on the main categories I am doing right now 

TIA

[wakabayashi]

No idea, which version you are using. This module is broken since a long time as I wanted to make it super clean, but the core ObjectModel doesn't allow it.

[AndyC]

OK, thanks It's version 1.0.0 ..Will have to keep looking for something similar as 200 words is just to long at the top

[AndyC]

Am having to use it until I can find an alternative, tried the prestashop and that just killed my page speed

[wakabayashi]

Yeah I will fix this sooner or later anyway... But right now I have just so many other things to do...

[wakabayashi]

Actually by some chance I had to fix own PR today: https://github.com/thirtybees/thirtybees/pull/1026

If this get accepted, my newest version of genzo_category module will again be working 😎

[AndyC]

Great ..Will wait for new download to get accepted
