Magento Layered Navigation block. Move to center


In category.xml I'm changing the reference name in:

    <reference name="left">
        <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
    </reference>

To content which I assumed would place the layered nav into the center. However, it still stays on the left. In fact, even I changed left to right, and it still doesn't move from the left sidebar.

What am I doing wrong here?


Solution

  • I managed to fix this (for anyone else who encounters this problem) by commenting out or deleting the below call in catelog.xml:

    <reference name="left">
        <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
    </reference>
    

    Then adding this line within the name="product_list" block just below.

    <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="filter" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
    

    Then within list.phtml echo it like: <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('filter');?>
