How to Show Product category on right side or left side in Magento Commerce?

In this Tutorial, We are going to show How to display product category on right or left side with only simple changes.
First we will have to build new block into the XML for displaying the category navigation like: -

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

Open Catelog.xml page and then search for keyword "Default layout, loads most of the pages".
after fining this keywords then you have to put below code into that block.

If you want to change the position of layout in Magento then you can also change into the reference name as (RIGHT, LEFT, FOOTER, etc).

Now Build a new page on navigated path: -

/app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/navigation/ right_home_nav.phtml

Now paste this below code again into new build page named right_home_nav.phtml

Browse


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


getChildHtml('topLeftLinks') ?>

Important Note -> If you want to display categories list on Home Page so paste below code in riht_home_nav.phtml

getRequest()->getRouteName();

 $identifier = Mage::getSingleton('cms/page')->getIdentifier();
 if($routeName == 'cms' && $identifier == 'home') { ?>
