Content under category table

Hi once again!

I'm using the default category template to display a table with the articles of a category. Well, that works fine. But I'd like to place a text right UNDER this table. I'm not into PHP, so it would be great if there's a simple solution for this.

I already tried the "Placehere" module as workaround, but that would lead to displaying the text under each article too.

Thanks for your help!

Uli

What type of text should it be?

One possibility would be
create a new position (group) in the template
and after that create an new field (filedtype = text area) also
so you can, when editing a category,
write a text for each category that appears under the table

I do not know whether you mean it.

To implement this you must do the following changes:

1. add a new group (e.g. under_tabe) in the templates\default\category.xml
Code:
<fieldgroups> <group>table</group> <group>under_table</group> </fieldgroups>
2. in the templates\default\category.php
after
Code:
<!-- BOF item list display --> <?php echo $this->loadTemplate('items'); ?> <!-- BOF item list display -->
add the following code
Code:
<?php if ((isset($this->item->positions['under_table'])) : ?> <div class="under_item_table"> <!-- BOF under_item_table block --> <?php foreach ($this->item->positions['under_table'] as $field) : ?> <div class="element <?php echo $field->name; ?>"> <?php echo $field->display; ?> </div> <?php endforeach; ?> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <?php endif; ?> <!-- EOF under_item_table block -->

the code for the css file and the rest of the statement I skip

maybe that is right for you

excuse me
quite as easy as I wrote it is not yet
Code:
2. in the templates\default\category.php after Code: Select all <!-- BOF item list display --> <?php echo $this->loadTemplate('items'); ?> <!-- BOF item list display --> add the following code

there has to be the following code but not in the templates\default\category.php but in templates\default\category-items.php after
Code:
<?php else : ?> <div class="noitems"><?php echo JText::_( 'FLEXI_NO_ITEMS_CAT' ); ?></div> <?php endif; ?>

the new code
Code:
<?php if ($this->items) : $elements = array(); if (isset($item->positions['under_table'])) : ?> <div class="under_item_table"> <?php foreach ($item->positions['under_table'] as $element_pos) : if (!in_array($element_pos->name, $elements)) : $elements[$element_pos->name] = $item->fields[$element_pos->name]->label; ?> <div class="element"> <div class="label field_<?php echo $item->fields[$element_pos->name]->label; ?>"> <?php echo $item->fields[$element_pos->name]->label; ?> </div> <div class="value field_<?php echo $item->fields[$element_pos->name]->label; ?>"><?php echo $item->fields[$element_pos->name]->display; ?></div> </div> <?php endif; endforeach; ?> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <?php endif; ?> <?php endif; ?>
