The Side Category module displays the entire category structure from Catalog > Categories. It was built to replace the default Opencart Category module found in Extensions > Modules > Category with added support for multi-level. It also allows you to create additonal custom menu items and display them alongside the default category menu.
The Side Category module can be added to any layout in the following positions:
