Ok, well that didn’t display properly at all. Anyway, if you’re having trouble getting your links to work properly using this code, change $this-> in the link creation section to $obj->

For those have trouble with getting links to show up properly: Instead of: [code] echo 'getCategoryUrl($cat).'">'.$cat->getName()."\n"; [/code] Use: [code] echo 'getCategoryUrl($cat).'">'.$cat->getName()."\n"; [/code]

I never said anything about second navigation, I claimed it added categories to the sidebar, which prior to 1.4 was a fairly tedious.

this is not for adding a navigation menu on the left .
This tutorial adds a second layered navigation block to the shop.

It is exactly the same as already displayed on my page .
Rather useless

Thank you! I needed to override Magento from displaying the categories in the side bar only when at the top level, but disappearing in a filter-like manner once you were in one category. We didn’t want customers to have to hit back to switch categories. This was very helpful! Thanks.
