Sometimes we may need to add a block just as Category Block at the left side bar, here let me share the skills on how to do, I will add a block, just under the big Category block. In the new block I will add some useful links.
Go to skin/common_files/customer/, copy categories.tpl, and rename the new file to glasses_shop.tpl. Edit glasses_shop.tpl, and add your own content.
Now check the x-cart skin you are using, say light_responsive, go to skin/light_responsive/customer/, and edit left_bar.tpl. Find
{include file=”customer/categories.tpl”}
and modify the line to:
{if $main eq “pages”}
{include file=”customer/categories.tpl”}
{else}
{include file=”customer/categories.tpl”}
{include file=”customer/glasses_shop.tpl”}
{/if}
