Hi Doug,

When you say "the category is not being displaying when the category is selected for the products" can you clarify what you mean? Are you using the Categories module? Do you mean that the Products set to the Category selected are not being displayed?

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

I am saying that at some point (I know I saw this) in the product listing the category was displayed when a category was selected from the category menu. The category was being shown in the Container title.  It does not appear now.  I have the box checked for display category in the cart settings.

I have another site www.aromawellness.net/home.aspx where the categories are selected from a menu and the url is passed with the categoryID which should operate the same way and does not.

Hi Doug,

To clarify, when the CategoryID is passed in the querystring to display the products belonging to that Category the Category Title is not displayed but if you select the Category from the Category Menu module, the Category Title is shown in the Container Title. Did I understand you correctly? If not, please let me know where I am misunderstanding.

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for taking a look.  Actually, it is not displaying at all in either scenario.  I am thinking that when we were testing the trial version at level 4.56 ( I think...) it was working.  When we purchased the live version (4.60) it stopped working but I can't be sure if it was working.  Presently  it does not seem to be working in either case.  I have one customer site (www.aromawellness.net/home.aspx) where they do not want to use the category module so the links to specific products are throuh the menu selections and passing in the categoryID.  The other site (www.brtcmerchants.com/home.aspx) is using the category module but still the category is not displayed in the product list as described in the user manual.  Bottom line is that in both cases, if the user has selected a specific category to view products in, there is not indication in either case as to what category they selected.

Hi Doug,

I have not been able to replicate this issue of the Category Description not being displayed on our test portal www21.smith-consulting.com either when selecting the Category from the Categories module or passing the CategoryID in the querystring. However, I did notice that when running the Cart on DNN 6, the Category Title is no longer displayed in the Container Title when a Category is selected. This issue is not present using DNN 5. I will send this into programming.

Thanks,
