Shop By (categories) on the left column

Hello,

Following some outside forums I found a way to add the SHOP BY block into the left column on the Sterix template by adding this:

Code:

<reference name="left">
  <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>

to the homepage by editing the "Layout Update XML" of the CMS-Pages-Homepage-Design, but it only shows at the home page.

How can I make it to be in all pages, and order it below the shopping cart block on the left?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Maryann:

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.
