Hey guys! On Joomla 3 and VM 3 Im battling to get the descriptions to show up on second level sub categories ie

-Level one: has description

Ok this was easier than I thought :)

Create yourtemplate/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/categories.php

I did this just under h2 classand didnt realise it was working, because VM was heavy caching!! Remember to clear cache from Joomla itself

<div class="newcat"><?php echo $category->category_description ?></div>

Worked for me :)

Ive tried this solution but doesn't work for me. Do you have more details of the procedure?

Thanks
