I was asked by a user of my mosviewonly mambot whether it would be possible to include this within the category description area.  Unfortunately mambots are currently only available within content items and nowhere else.

This is because the mambots use the $row->text variable, used internally within Mambo to hold the intro and main texts, to make the customisations to.

What I wanted to do was to make as little as possible changes to the core code, to make the standard installed mambots available anywhere within Mambo plus installed components. 

This has been achieved with mosbot_me.php, and a few certain changes to the Mambo core files to enable it.  In this example I will show you how to make mambots available within category descriptions.
