Hi
I used this example from Peter Hamilton to build a vertical menu on magento 1.0 like this: http://magento.maetvaplanet.com/index.php/
It works fine in magento 1.1.3, except that it shows up below the ‘SHOP BY’, ‘COMPARE’, ‘MY CART’ layered navigation.
Any ideas on how I can move it to sit at the very top of the left-hand-side column?

To move it to the top of the column add before="-" in catalog.xml
<!--
Category default layout
-->
<catalog_category_default>
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/navigation" before="-" name="catalog.vertnav" template="catalog/navigation/vert_nav.phtml"/>
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/navigation/left.phtml"/>
</reference>
<!--
Category layered navigation layout
-->
<catalog_category_layered>
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/navigation" before="-" name="catalog.vertnav" template="catalog/navigation/vert_nav.phtml"/>
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>
Hope that helps

Hi Folks,
Like many here I’m thankful to Peter for posting his bit of code. I have it working but am still struggling to get it onto my Home Page.
I see that the category.xml is changed for other pages but not the home page.
Can anyone explain exactly which XML and PHTML files I have to change for the homepage?
Many thanks,
Dave

Thanks to Peter for posting that code, looks very useful.
Could you or anyone please help me with a much simpler version? I need a vertical menu that shows the categories and sub categories (2 levels) in a vertical array.
Basically I am re-building this site in Magento: http://www.hideout-leather.co.uk/ and want to retain the familiar navigation method.
Happy to pay for time 
Many thanks.
Adam

I have created a vertical navigation for a new shop like the way it is described here. This works perfectly to browse in the categories. But i have a curious problem with the product detail page:
The navigation shows only the first-level categrories on the detail page. So the getStoreCategories()-Function gives back the expected results. But all other functions to get the levels deeper like getChildren() or getCurrentChildCategories() gives no results back.
What I have to do to get all categories on the detail page, too??
Thanks for any advice.

I have integrated the Peter Hamilton vertical menu and it seems to be working alright except for a few minor problems.
It displays categories that are set as inactive, it won’t display the name of the category but i will still generate a drop down button.
Has anyone run into the same problem? if so please advice.
Thx in advance

Thought i should share…
Previously i had placed into action Peter Hamilton’s Vertical menu, but had ran into difficulties when a category was set to inactive. But i have been able to fix that.
Just insert the following code where commented in the vert_nav.phtml
<div class="vertical-nav-container box base-mini">
<div id="vertical-nav">
<div class="head">
<h4><?php echo $this->__('Categories') ?></h4>
</div>
<ul id="nav_vert">
<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
// *************** verifies category is active
<?php if ($_category->getIsActive()) { ?>
// ***************
<?php $open = $this->isCategoryActive($_category); ?>
<?php $potential = $_category->hasChildren(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category); ?>"<?php if($open) { echo ' class="open"'; } ?><?php if($potential) { echo ' class="potential"'; } ?> ><?php if($potential&&$open) { echo 'v '; } elseif($potential) { echo '> '; }else{ echo ' '; }?><?php echo $_category->getName();?></a>
<?php if ($open && $potential): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($_category->getChildren() as $subcategory): ?>
<?php $subCat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subcategory); ?>
<?php $open = $this->isCategoryActive($subCat); ?>
<?php $potential = $subCat->hasChildren(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($subCat); ?>"<?php if($open) { echo ' class="subopen"'; } ?><?php if($potential) { echo ' class="potential"'; } ?><?php if(!$potential&&$open) { echo ' class="final"'; } ?> ><?php if($potential&&$open) { echo 'v '; } elseif($potential) { echo '> '; }?><?php echo $subCat->getName(); ?></a>
<?php if ($open && $potential): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($subcategory->getChildren() as $subsubcategory): ?>
<?php $subsubCat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subsubcategory); ?>
<?php $open = $this->isCategoryActive($subsubCat) ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($subsubCat); ?>" <?php if($open) { echo ' class="final"'; } ?>><?php echo $subsubCat->getName(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
// *************** end verifies category is active
<?php } ?>
// ***************
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Hope this helps.

I have some of these examples working for vertical menu, but the one thing it won’t do is use my styles. I used an example from an earlier post and created a left_menu1.phtml file and referenced it in the xml. I know it uses it, because it shows vertical and has my text in it, but it changes the classes. when i look at it in firebug, the <li> code looks like this
<li class="level2 nav-electronics-cameras-accessories">
355<a href="http://www.marinabayonlakelanierbackup.com/magento/index.php/electronics/cameras/accessories"><span>Accessories</span></a>
356</li>
below is my code in the left_head1.phtml
<div id="left-column">
<h2 id="left-column">shop by category</h2>
<ul id="left-column">
<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
<li id="left-column"><?php echo $this->drawItem($_category) ?></li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
</div>

Hi,
I would like to develop a vertical menu like that the kind is here: http://www.autofittings.co.uk/
What kind of codes is needed to stick and where? The essence, that if I scroll over the category let the sub categories show up.
would somebody be able to provide a little direction?
Thanks for it ahead!

Lorenzo,
This is exactly what i am looking for. Were you able to successfully implement it. Moreover I didn’t want the same to come in other pages as the other pages will have layered navigation . In the home page i want to have a left menu that will diplay all the categories and their subcategories with their product count in a single column. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Naresh
