this is my layout xml:
<catalog_category_default translate="label">
<label>Catalog Category (Non-Anchor)</label>
<reference name="content">
<block type="core/template" name="page.brand" template="page/brand.phtml" />
<block type="catalog/product_list" template="page/accessories.phtml">
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" as="filter_menu" template="catalog/navigation/left.phtml"/>
</block>
</reference>
</catalog_category_default>
And from within page.accessories.phtml, inside some div block i call:
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('filter_menu') ?>
but nothing renders out. Why is that?
this is code from the layered phtml file:
<div class="oh_shit"></div>
<?php if($this->canShowBlock()): ?>
<div class="block block-layered-nav">
<div class="block-title">
<strong><span><?php echo $this->__('Shop By') ?></span></strong>
</div>
<div class="block-content">
<?php echo $this->getStateHtml() ?>
<?php if ($this->getLayer()->getState()->getFilters()): ?>
<div class="actions"><a href="<?php echo $this->getClearUrl() ?>"><?php echo $this->__('Clear All') ?></a></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->canShowOptions()): ?>
<p class="block-subtitle"><?php echo $this->__('Shopping Options') ?></p>
<dl id="narrow-by-list">
<?php $_filters = $this->getFilters() ?>
<?php foreach ($_filters as $_filter): ?>
<?php if($_filter->getItemsCount()): ?>
<dt><?php echo $this->__($_filter->getName()) ?></dt>
<dd><?php echo $_filter->getHtml() ?></dd>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</dl>
<script type="text/javascript">decorateDataList('narrow-by-list')</script>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
