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"?>

</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.
