this works good but, for categories, module doesn't allow to choose a specific category to show, that would be great if that feature is added

allows you to place the category or section description and/or image where you choose as a module, just enough configuration to do what i needed - in one section display the section in all cats, in another show each cat description. much simpler than making custom modules for everything.

It's working great. It would be perfect if there were a parameter to set the description to show only on a category/section page not on every article page

This is saving me so much time!
It's very hard to convince non technical content managers to work inside of modules and then assign them all over the place. They get totally confused.

For typical marketing sites, this method allows you to instruct them to simply fill out section / cat descriptions which are more similar to content and then let them be sure it will appear in some consisten place in the template.

This is perfect, thank you!

I emagine really nice possibilities for people who need the description part in fontend. It's a brilliant way to leave the typical top-down-layout of the blog views. Often thought of putting an intro on another place... Glad, i found this little "gem"! This is one of the little helpers, which makes joomla "shine".
