Create a left hand navigation / vertical category in Magento

Using the modern theme to create a menu like http://www.cl-floraldesigns.co.uk

1)

Create vert_nav.phtml in app / design / frontend / default / default / template / catalog / navigation

__('Categories') ?>

__('Category Navigation:') ?>

getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
drawItem($_category) ?>




getChildHtml('topLeftLinks') ?>

2)

in app / design / frontend / default / modern / layout / catalog.xml

add

so it looks like this:

3) in skin/frontend/default/modern/css/menu.css

    /**********************************************Vertical Nav ****************************************/

    #nav_vert { padding:0 20px; font-size:1em; z-index:999; width:180px; background-color: #F6F6F6; }
