In catalog/language/english/category/category.php

Code is

<?php
$_['heading_title'] = 'Categories';
?>

The index function in your controller class must be public, not protected. Try to change that to public see if that solves the problem.

By the way I don’t know how you want to pass $settings to index(). To my knowledge, you shouldn’t be able to do that 🙂
