Quick and dirty way for adding information pages on the top OpenCart Menu

Opencart info.txt

Create a top level category in opencart - call it 'about us'
Add description, set it to show on the top level  

Click on it. It looks great, it shows the information you want it to show... but it says this:


There are no products to list in this category.

Get rid of it to navigating to:

catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/category.tpl

and deleting:

<?php } ?>
  <?php if (!$categories && !$products) { ?>
  <div class="content"><?php echo $text_empty; ?></div>
