Apislerr, 

Your theme has no column left, so that, it will be not easy to add a hook to a non existent displayLeftColumn. I am afraid you should edit the php yourself or change your theme to bootstrap default.

 

You can try to follow these steps:

 

if your module has been deleted by FTP, upload a /themes/bootstrap /modules/blockcategories module from a PS 1.6.0.9 fresh install.

 

It should create a hook for that module when installed. If not, create a hook for block category in displayLeft list in Modules > Positions > (edited:)  "Transplant a Module". Select the module from the select menu (Categories Block) and Hook into (displayLeftColumn). Tell us about the result.  Hope this helps!

Have you enabled your left column to show? (preferences > themes > your theme's configuration. As long as your theme does not have column left I am afraid column left is disabled by default (nothing will be shown in column left) You should change your theme by one as the bootstrap default that enables column left. Otherwise, you will need to modify your current theme's code to add that feature. This is not extremely easy and depends on your php skills.

 

Edit: Best option is to ask the theme's developer.
