This module extends the functionality of eCommerce to allow you to create specific top and bottom descriptions for each public product category.

These descriptions will be rendered when the user is browsing that category.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Adds a rich-text description field to public product categories in the eCommerce shop, shown above the product grid when a visitor browses that category.

This module lets you write a description for each public product category and display it on the online shop page for that category.

  • A new HTML description field is added to product categories (product.public.category). You can fill it in from the category form in Odoo, and it supports translation, so you can provide different texts per language.
  • On the website, when a visitor opens a category page, the description is rendered just above the product grid. It only appears when a category is being viewed.
  • The description is inserted into the existing eCommerce products template, so it follows the normal shop layout and styling.

No other business rules, checks, emails or scheduled actions are added by this module. It only extends the category model and the shop template.
