Plugin ggis-scdesc for Joomla
A 1.5 native plugin enabling you to display section or category descriptions within content. This is a very simple, single purpose plugin that does only and exactly what it claims. On occassion, an article may wish to include the description from a section or category. Copying that description means it may need to be updated in multiple places if changes are made. With this plugin, just update the section/category description and all of the articles remain current.
