    It appears you have the left (and right) sidebox columns turned off in Admin - Configuration - Layout Settings.

    i don't want any sidebox controls on my page, do I still have to turn something on through the admin? This is what my settings are Column
    Left Status - Global 1
    Column Right Status - Global 1

    Which file do I have to modify to add in text/html to update the left column?

    Well, your products are either all at the top level or are in categories. Categories are the navigation for your site, along with other pages which would be in the Information and other sideboxes. That's what the sideboxes are for.

    Maybe you're concerned with the box-like appearance of the sideboxes? If so, they can be styled in any way you can imagine using the stylesheet, including making them not be in little boxes.

    Or maybe you don't like the default appearance of the navigation, box or no box. In that case you can try one of the mods in the Free Software Add Ons (link at the top of this page.)

    Finally, if you really don't want to use any of the built-in or add-on sideboxes that could be in the left column, you could modify the php file which is used to build the contents of the left-column so that it would show use code instead. But this would be very complex. And why bother when someone has already done all the work for you?

    Rob, or anyone, I don't want to use any side boxes, I just want to add a navigation ( html ) code in the left column, which file and where exactly do I need to modify that file to get this accomplished.

    Do you have a mockup of what you want the pages to look like when finished?

    You get a navigation menu in the left column by using a sidebox. As rstevenson said, it doesn't need to look anything like a box - see my site.
