What to use to put paragraph of text between menu and products?

[alwayspaws]

I want to put about a paragraph of text on the homepage and each category page. What do I use?

[Havouza]

You mean a category description?

[alwayspaws]

I mean I want a paragraph of text on the home page like in the screenshot and I want to put text in the footer of every page just below the last product but above the About Us and contact us.

For home page:

For footers for main and category pages:

Just hook the content you want to displayHome.

[alwayspaws]

I don't know how to do hooks.

[Havouza]

@moy2010 Your answer reveal a problem. Perhaps in the beginning of this forum it was only tech nerds here. But that is not true anymore. And it will be less true for every day passing. This forum is the only place a tb user/merchant can get help. So an answer like yours is not good enough. It will only scare away people

[alwayspaws]

@Havouza You ain't kidding! I shut down the browser. I'm a chicken. :)

[vzex]

I need to master hooks as well will be spending time watching youtube tutorials once I get the chance.

[alwayspaws]

Oh, no. @vzex We don't have to master everything or else we'll never get anywhere. :) I love learning and do as much as possible, but my to do list begins at my computer and is down the hall and out the door!

[vzex]

True @alwayspaws, I'd prefer mastering the order notifications :) :) :)

[alwayspaws]

@vzex I'd prefer to get an order! :P

[vzex]

Yep, @alwayspaws it's getting harder.

Back in the "good old days" there used to be bloggers who would find your product and share with their following just to have content on their site, then come the orders with no effort!

These days you can pay a youtube influencer! And those are the folks who are bringing in the big bucks!

If we were bringing in the big bucks we would be paying someone else to be here asking questions :)

[alwayspaws]

Exactly @vzex. With my previous website (closed a few years ago), I was organically at the top of my game for my niche. Now, I'm starting all over again. Talk soon. Need another break. :)

[alwayspaws]

@wakabayashi - I think you know this answer. Please?

[wakabayashi]

There are modules, which allow you, to place content easily to specific hooks. A long time ago I bought a module for this. But I heard, that this free one is good as well: https://contentbox.org/

Another solution would be, to change tpl files.

[alwayspaws]

@wakabayashi I installed the module on my test site. Under "developer configurations" it asks to select "Use a Content Wrapper" with various options. Screenshot at bottom. What should I select since I want an informative paragraph at the top of my site, under the nav menu, of what my site is for?

I looked up html5 for 2017 to make sure to use the correct tags, because I recently read that we should use >nav> instead of

This article seems to clarify html5 - Does it look accurate and something I can depend on, or is there a better site to reference html5 from?

Thank you!

[wakabayashi]

I would clearly chose div. But I a not aware the newest trends with all this tags. I stronlgy doubt that you should use

instead of div. Nav is only for navigations.

[Havouza]

Nav is really only an information tag like section are

Your theme will have take responsibility for most of these tags. You don´t want to step on its toes.

When adding your own blocks like this I agree with @wakabayashi , use

I am using the Transformer Theme. Do you mean I am supposed to depend on the designer of my theme to keep up-to-date on these tags and the latest HTML (5)?

He recently created a PS 1.7 version and I don't think he's going to want to update the PS 1.6 version anymore. What should I do? I know the transformer theme is being supported here, so do I depend on updates of this kind via thirty bees?

Thank you!

@wakabayashi Where have you been?

Thanks! Unless I already have this capability in the transformer theme, I'll use contentbox. I have yet to discover all the features of my theme.

The only way to mark this as solved was to quote @wakabayashi again. The other posts only gave me the choice to flag the message but not mark as answered.

@wakabayashi Where have you been?

I was just 2 weeks away (chess camp with kids). Also I have a lot to do with our business, but of course I am still part of tb - don't worry :)

@wakabayashi Welcome back! That must've been fun.
