Move block to top

Question

In catalog.xml I have:

<catalog_category_layered> 
    <reference name="left"> 
       <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template= "catalog/navigation/left.phtml" />
    </reference>
   ....
 </catalog_category_layered>

This left block appears in to the bottom in my responsive theme . But I want to put it at the top. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Check in app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/template/page/ And open the .phtml file of the layout you are using.

Then there you will see something like

<div class="col-left sidebar">
     <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('left') ?>
</div>

Make sure this is in the right place as you will see the different areas of your site here (left-content/main-right) if you use a 3 column layout.

Answer 2

Find where in template implemented

$this->getChildHtml('catalog.leftnav')

or

$this->getChild('catalog.leftnav')->toHtml()

or similar

And move it in your template any place you like

upd.1

Add this at the end of your controller acltion and share us what you got inside var/log/layout.log

Mage::log($this->getLayout()->getBlock('left')->getSortedChildren(), false, 'layout.log', true)
