There no mobile category description field in the ecom_cat table.

In the mean time, I have php enabled in my category descriptions.  Could you provide a code snippet I could utilize in the description to determine if the current session is a mobile one.  I'm thinking I could utilize it in an if/else expression to display a more appropriate description for the mobile view.

Yeah, that shouldn't be too hard, but I'm still interested in learning about identifying the session as mobile using php, if you've got a minute to spare.  There are probably a lot of other potential applications for such knowledge, and besides, since I've enabled php in the descriptions, why not use it?

Yeah, zanart, that's the easy way.  I'd like know how to do it by identifying the session as a mobile session using php and then providing alternate content using an if/else expression.

like if $this = '1' then

Sweet!  Thanks!

Hello I tried deleting "print $catdesc;" from the mobile category display, but the description is still visible. Am I missing any additional steps?

I wanted to remove the category description from the mobile view. So I deleted "print $catdesc;" from the mobile category view, but I'm still able to see the description in mobile view. Any suggestions?

Yes I'm editing the mobile category display that you mentioned. Thanks.

Hello:

Yes I'm viewing the site in mobile view on my desktop and cellphone. Here's my code below. You will notice that I'm commented out the "print $catdesc;" line of code. Also I have mobile support enabled. Here's one of the pages of the site I'm working on - http://hahntactical.com/index.php?app=e … el-Defense

Nick:

Which section of the code is for mobile display? I've commented out each description section individually and it removed the description from the mobile and desktop view. Thanks.
