title: how to show the description of sub-categories magento
body: <p>I have a main category and some sub-categories for this category and I wanted to show the sub categories of this category when main category link is accessed. </p>
  
  <p>For this I have created a static block and one phtml file and able to show the sub-categories on main category page with sub-cat name and image but I also needs to show the description of category but failed to get the description of sub categories.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have in phtml file </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php $_categories=$this-&gt;getCurrentChildCategories()?&gt;
  &lt;?php if($_categories-&gt;count()): ?&gt;
  &lt;table style="width:80%"&gt;
  &lt;?php foreach ($_categories as $_category): ?&gt;
  &lt;?php if($_category-&gt;getIsActive()): ?&gt;
  
  &lt;tr class="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;htmlEscape($_category-&gt;getUrlKey()) ?&gt;"&gt;
  &lt;?php
   if ($_imgUrl = $_category-&gt;getImageUrl()) { 
          $_imgHtml = '&lt;img src="'.$_imgUrl.'" alt="'.$this-&gt;htmlEscape($_category-&gt;getName()).'" title="'.$this-&gt;htmlEscape($_category-&gt;getName()).'" /&gt;';
  
      }   
  ?&gt;  
  &lt;td valign="middle" align="left" style="padding-bottom:40px"&gt;   
      &lt;a href="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getCategoryUrl($_category) ?&gt;"&gt;
          &lt;?php echo $_imgHtml; ?&gt;
      &lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td valign="top" align="left" &gt;
      &lt;a valign="bottom" href="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getCategoryUrl($_category) ?&gt;"&gt;
          &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;htmlEscape($_category-&gt;getName()) ?&gt;      
      &lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;htmlEscape($_category-&gt;getDescription()) ?&gt;
  &lt;/td&gt;
  
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
  &lt;?php endforeach ?&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  &lt;? endif; ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it is not showing description for the sub categories as you can see I used </p>
  
  <p><code>$_category-&gt;getDescription()</code> to get the description.</p>
  
  <p>Please help to resolve this.</p>
