>how do i change the left hand bar to read list of manufacturers instead of categories
The left side already has a list of manufacturers. If you want to remove the list
of categories, you need to copy ~/view/shared/_ColumsThree.cshtml to your theme (respecting
folder stucture) and remove
@Html.Action("CategoryNavigation", "Catalog", new { currentCategoryId = currentCategoryId, currentProductId = currentProductId })
if you want to change the order, you can also do this in _ColumsThree.cshtml
