I have category blog layout menu items that are set up to display the category description at the top of the blog page. Works great.
But I just started using the Joomla Latest News module to list articles from those various blogs on the home page of my site. When you click an individual article, it takes you to just that article and doesn't show the category description.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can force Joomla to display the category description on the top of those articles?
I've searched for hours now and haven't found anything, so maybe it's not possible. Was hoping someone knew of a "magic" bit of code I could add to a php file....
http://www.fredericksburgparent.net - To see the category layouts working properly, click any item under "Blogs". The individual article problem I'm having comes from the "From our Blog Pages" module on the home page.
Thanks in advance,
karen

Would this work for what you want?

I am thinking you could then place the module at a top module position for corresponding articles. A little involved I think because as far as I can tell you still need to differentiate section/categories of articles to display the proper category description for that article. Might be able to create a hidden menu to organize your sec/cat's in order to better place this module.
Good luck
