I'm trying to move the top navigation to the left column of the page. Unfortunately I don't really know how I can manage this.
Since I have a lot of categories, I can't really use the Horizontal Navigation.
I have already tried changing the catalog.xml file, but it didn't seem to work. Cache is disabled, and its a clean install.
Thanks in advance!
I changed this:
<reference name="left_first">
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml">
<block type="core/text_list" name="catalog.leftnav.state.renderers" as="state_renderers" />
</block>
</reference>
to this
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml">
<block type="core/text_list" name="catalog.leftnav.state.renderers" as="state_renderers" />
</block>
</reference>
Unfortunately nothing changed. The path is: /magento/app/design/frontend/rwd/default/layout
