Templating the Category List

[John Beales]

I've run into an issue with the way the product category list works,
(the stuff in wpsc-theme/wpsc-category-list.php).

What I'm trying to do is show some extra text below the excerpt for a
certain category, (there's a sale on items in that category).
Unfortunately, since the category text is all output-buffered, then
various [values] are replaced by str_replace(), I can't actually do
something like if(wpsc_cat_id() == 55) then show my special text.

First, does anyone know a way to hack around this problem and show
some info about a category? There don't seem to be any filters on the
description that I've found or anything.

Second, (and this may already be in the pipeline), should we really be
showing a list of categories like this? Wouldn't it make more sense to
have something closer to how the WP loop functions, but for
categories?

Hi John,

I'm not a huge fan of how this works either.  I'd love to see this process refactored, care to submit a patch?

Thanks,

I'll see if I can find time to write one. It's not trivial, but it'll make me learn more about custom taxonomies, which would be good for me ;)
