Small changes to code to allow correct functioning in OsCommerce v 2.3.1
Please note this is the version without multilanguage support - if you need that then you need to do the additional steps outlined in v1.5 first then use the substitute code in index.php

enamed the directory contining the descriptions to category_descriptions.

Simple install + update guide

changed the descriptions directory to language folders to add multi-language support. Still simple and great.

Added an optional step to show description on nested categories.

I wanted to make this even simpler. Added code that checks if description file exists. It no longer requires that you have a description file for each category, create a description file only for those categories you want. Gets rid of all the error messages that appeared with the v1.1 and prior version when a description file was missing. Thanks to mreigle for making the original submission.

*This is basically the same thing as before, just a better install guide.

This contribution adds a unique category description to every category listing. It was suggested to me on the forums by KGT. It only requires one small block of code be added to index.php and a /descriptions/ directory to be created in /includes/.

Other contributions out there do the same thing but are NOT compatible with the Header Tags contribution.
