Magento 1.3 - Left Hand Menu

Question

I'm wondering does anybody have a solution to enable the left hand menu in magento 3.1. I've located the file i would like to use at

design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/navigation/left.phtml

but am unsure how to customise my template to enable it. The tutorials i've found seem to relate to earlier versions of magento.

Regards, P

EDIT- I tried that solution but it only moves the callout elements in my view, the catelog menu still appears at the top of the page and not on the left hand pane.

Answer 1

You have to change the page layout template to enable the left bar menu, This can be be done in admin , CMS -> Manage Pages ... change the layout to '...with left bar' option.

Hope this helps!
