Magento – Filters in the sidebar navigation from Cart

Picture

If the filter menu (Layer View) be placed before the cart in the sidebar, This can be done, by before and after commands are used.
This can be a bit more difficult in one or the other template, if the individual blocks are linked together complicated.

In the current case, this had to be seen where some command which drew together.

Could then in the

catalog.xml

in the folder

app / design / frontend /[base or default]/[IhrTemplate]/layout

the line

<block type=”catalog/layer_view” name =”catalog.leftnav” after=”currency” template =”catalog/layer/view.phtml”/>

by the before Command to be completed and thus

<block type=”catalog/layer_view” name =”catalog.leftnav” after=”currency” before=”cart_sidebar” template =”catalog/layer/view.phtml”/>

Then filter the shopping cart and then appears on the voters after the eventual currency.

To find out the name of the block, had in this case in the checkout.xml be gone in the same folder, to find the area to Cart. It should be also made sure, that in this block is not otherwise specified. If this e.g.. be, that this is BEFORE the filter block, it can be annoying 🙂
