blank pages, description tag

[pga123]

Google has indexed 3760 of my pages. Fab! However, they all have the same description which google gets out of my featured products description - this is the first text it encounters.

Is it possible to have:
- a description variable that prints out the first N characters of the product description on the page, to be used like so:
- a redirect to home page when the product has disappeared off the database (right now all you get is a white blank page)

The text file 'Template tokens.txt' provides the following code snippet:

{foreach from=$categories item=curr_cat}

     {$curr_cat.name} 

{/foreach}


This lists info for all of the categories. I only want it for the category I am in right now. How do I know which category I am in? I need to do this:



where {$this_cat} is the array index of the category that is being rendered in the template. This is fairly basic stuff. Is it possible that no other StoreStacker users have encountered this need?

Help, please!

Silly me. It's right there in Template tokens.txt:

{$category.description}

Who would have guessed!? Doh....
