Hi web2solutions,

To add product category menu to the left or right side as mentioned you could just try as following
Open the file of appdesignfrontenddefaultyour_themelayoutpage.xml there you add a tag like this

<reference name=”left”>
<block type=”catalog/navigation” name=”catalog.leftcat” before=”-” template=”catalog/navigation/sidenav.phtml” />
</reference>

Then if your current page is 2columns-left you would see the menu on the left, Do the same if you the menu on the right side

<reference name=”right”>
<block type=”catalog/navigation” name=”catalog.leftcat” before=”-” template=”catalog/navigation/sidenav.phtml” />
</reference>

Hope you got it !

Hello,

I tried this solution on JM_Sterix, but it does not seem to work, any idea how to get left side categories in all pages below shopping cart block?

Mary..

Just to offer some additional ancillary resources to look into, I found the following that may be of additional assistance.
Skip past the “create the menu” part(s) and just review the parts toward the end about positioning the element itself.

REFERENCES:

How To Create Left Vertical Navigation Menu in Magento

Create Left Hand Navigation/Vertical Category in Magento

and here’s a video tutorial which may (or may not) help – for visual “how to” purposes) . . .

Hope that helps as well. Can never have too many resources handy.

🙂

If none of the above references are helpful, try this . . .

In your admin section, navigate to the CMS section under Manage Pages.

Edit your Home page.

You should move the code snippet under:
<block type=”catalog/navigation” before=”-” name=”catalog.sidebar” template=”catalog/navigation/sidebar.phtml”/>

and paste it below <reference name=”left”> in the catalog.xml file located under your theme.
