I am building a site using the BeamStore theme. It comes with a category tree sidebar, which is located in app/design/frontend/NineThemes/BeamStore/default/Magento_Catalog/templates/navigation/left.phtml
How do I add the contents of this file to my homepage?
Anyone?
I have a sidebar template file located at:
app/design/frontend/NineThemes/BeamStore/default/Magento_Catalog/templates/navigation/left.phtml
and I added the code below to:
app/design/frontend/NineThemes/BeamStore/default/Magento_Catalog/layout/default.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- /** * Copyright © 2016 Magento. All rights reserved. * See COPYING.txt for license details. */ --> <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd" layout="2columns-left"> <body> <referenceContainer name="header-wrapper"> <container name="compare-link-wrapper" label="Compare Link Wrapper" as="compare-link-wrapper" after="top.search" htmlTag="ul" htmlClass="compare wrapper"> <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="catalog.compare.link" before="-" template="Magento_Catalog::product/compare/link.phtml"> <arguments> <argument name="jsLayout" xsi:type="array"> <item name="components" xsi:type="array"> <item name="compareProducts" xsi:type="array"> <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Catalog/js/view/compare-products</item> </item> </item> </argument> </arguments> </block> </container> </referenceContainer> <referenceContainer name="sidebar.main"> <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="navigation/left.phtml"/> </referenceContainer> </body> </page>
What am i doing wrong? I want the sidebar to show up on the homepage but it isn;t showing up, even after I clear the cache etc. Am I adding the block to the wrong file?
I have also tried adding the code above to
app/design/frontend/NineThemes/BeamStore/default/Magento_Catalog/view/frontend/layout/default.xml
with no luck.
