¶ Overview
With this plugin you store your own "No Products" text, with an optional image, for each category. It appears instead of the default Shopware message when a category's product listing is empty. Setup happens through custom fields directly in the category, and subcategories can inherit the text of the parent category.
The plugin needs no global settings: you maintain text, image, size, alignment and CSS classes per category in the Admin under Catalogues > Categories.
