AFAIK, the description is stored (and maintained) in the first section of the first post in a description.
I want to add links near “top”, “Latest” buttons in the category. As a theme can not be configured for each category, I though I can simply add the data for the links in the “hidden part” of a category description - as only the first fragment of the category description is shown in the category list.
The data would look like this {TAG,linkText,linkTitle,linkHref}.
category.description returns the well formed category description
category.description_text returns the plain data
but both are just returning the first chapter of the description and not the complete first post of the category which contains the description. Do I miss something?
Thanks @Johani. I thought about your suggestion. Unfortunately, we have a huge amount of categories and the configuration in the settings would be large and not manageable. Therefore I wrote this theme.
I got it working right. After adding support for parent_categories and fixes some minor glitches, I will document it and “release it in a proper way”.
