If you want side bar to display any category as the same to top menu bar then just simple change as following:
catalog/controller/module/category.php
Find

Code: Select all

foreach ($categories as $category) {
insert after

Code: Select all

if ($category['top']) {
Find:

Code: Select all

if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/module/category.tpl')) {
insert before it:

Code: Select all

}
If you want sidebar category be controlled seaparatelly then do as following

First You need to add "top" equivalent selector to admin side for example "Side".

Edit your model file to store it value

Then edit your category.php module file (catalog/module/category.php) to display categories if "Side" selector is checked.

Just make xml for you all for free here: http://opencart.goleo.vn/Side_bar_category

I'm not understanding. How is he a lifesaver? He just said what to do, not HOW to do it!? He only have the first simple set of code to add to the category controller file...he didn't leave any steps on the second half of the equation so how did you get it to work?
