Modification Name: Category Descriptions Author(s): Weird Al Description: Allows you to add a description right under the category name on the forum summary. Looks just like the 6.7 version. Demo: none Requirements: 6.6.x Download Link: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00020028/CategoryDescription6.6.txt Credits: Charles did all the hard work, I just added CP support. Instructions / Other Info: I was looking through the templates and noticed some code that look out of place, looking into it, the spot for category descriptions are already in 6.6.x code, and it still is. You can open vars_cats.cgi and add the desciption there, but I felt a cp interface would be good. When you go to the Category page in the CP, there will be a new text input box for you to add a description. ubbcode works, graemlins do not, img code works, so does html. If you want to add a line break, use html. Remember to clear your summary cache when you change the description.

You have no idea how long I've been trying to do this... I was about to release it as a mod for 6.5 too  But I guess you beat me to it... Nice work Al/Charles, installing now  (Suggestion for future version: Making the UBB automatically waste the cache after updating category descriptions? ubb_lib, &ClearSummaryCache... Just a thought )

If you enabled html in a post, that's the html that would work. javascript etc isn't allowed

yeah, I was assuming that changing the name of a category also cleared the summary cache, so I left that out. Thanks for the code, how's it working for you?
