Wordpress category description. Please, help.

I wanna display descriptions next to each category name on index page, but I'm not familiar with PHP at all :(

I edited the code like this:

<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); ?> - <?php echo category_description($cat); ?>
but it doesn't work properly :(

Could you please advice? :helpme

p.s. I thought I need something like show_description parameter that exists for <?php get_links(); ?>
but seems like it doesn't exists for <?php wp_list_cats('); ?>

or maybe you can just give me a link to any theme that uses category descriptions
so I could look for it in the code

please try it with these : <?php category_description(category); ?>

thanks, but i've already tried that ((

bump for getting it solved

Try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$exclude = '';



// $orderby - Category table column (record) to sort on; for column

// options see note #2 above.

$orderby = 'cat_name';



// $order - The sort order method. Use 'ASC'ending or 'DESC'ending.

$order = 'ASC';



/* << user-configurable variables << */



if($exclude) { // set up the category exclude list for the query

    $and = '';

    $wherecat = 'AND (';

    $exclude_cat = preg_split('/[\s,]+/', $exclude);

    foreach ($exclude_cat as $xcat) {

        $wherecat .= $and . ' cat_ID <> ' . $xcat . ' ';

        $and = 'AND';

    }

    $wherecat .= ')';

}



global $wpdb; // making sure the WP database object is around

/* the next line assigns the query results to $categories */

$categories = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE category_count > 0 $wherecat ORDER BY $orderby $sort"); // $wp_object_cache->cache['category'];

?>

<?php /* >> category list loop >> the important part! */ ?>

<?php while(list(,$category) = each($categories)) : // start loop ?>

        <p>

        <h3 id="cat-<?php echo $category->cat_ID; ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->cat_ID); // returns category url ?>" title="<?php echo $category->cat_name; ?>"><?php echo $category->cat_name; ?></a></h3>

        <?php echo $category->category_description; ?> (<?php echo $category->category_count; ?> posts)

        </p>

<?php endwhile; // end loop ?>

<?php /* << category list loop << */ ?>
