Category Description (for blog Layout) on only first page?

FTCZ · **Posted:** Wed Oct 28, 2009 2:11 pm

Hello. I have a menu item that displays a category in category blog layout. This blog has about 6 pages thus far. The Category Description currently displays at the top of ALL 6 pages, and I would like to have it display only on the first page. Is this possible, I have searched and cannot find an answer. Thank you.

I don't think there is a parameter to do it, but you should be able to override the view to do it.

I think this is the file you would need to override:
.../components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog.php

Code:

<?php if ($this->params->get('show_page_title', 1)) : ?>
<div class="componentheading<?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('pageclass_sfx')); ?>">
   <?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

If you need any help doing this, let me know.
