I've added a CMS page wich shows all the products listed under the "All Products" category by creating a CMS page with a "two column with left sidebar" layout, and in the content tabs, I've added the following code:
{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="2" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
I was reading about it and the layered navigation should be showing already. However, I've set "Is anchor" to yes, but it doesn't work. I can't make it to appear. What am I missing here? Is there a better way to create this catalog page?
Thanks in advance.
Please check the below link for calling layer navigation in CMS Page
http://www.webdesign-gm.co.uk/news/web-design/magento-web-design/layered-navigation-on-home-page-or-any-cms-page-magento.php
Or you can try this Design tab->Page Layout->Layout Update XML:
<reference name="left">
<!-- Layered Navigation Block -->
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml" >
<action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>40</category_id></action>
</block>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="home" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
<!-- Product List View -->
<action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>40</category_id></action>
<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
</block>
<action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
</block>
</reference>
To display layered navigation on cms page you have to set root category to Is Anchor=Yes.
Open CMS->Pages->[your page] in Magento Admin Panel.
Add the following layout instructions to Design tab->Page Layout->Layout Update XML
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list"
template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
<action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>3</category_id></action>
<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar"
template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
</block>
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend">
<layout>empty</layout>
<count>6</count>
</action>
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend">
<layout>one_column</layout>
<count>5</count>
</action>
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend">
<layout>two_columns_left</layout>
<count>4</count>
</action>
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend">
<layout>two_columns_right</layout>
<count>4</count>
</action>
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend">
<layout>three_columns</layout>
<count>3</count>
</action>
<action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
</block>
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="cms_layer" as="cms_layer" before="-">
<action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>3</category_id></action>
</block>
Also insert ID of desired category in 3 (2 times).
Open desired category of your store through Catalog->Manage Categories. Make sure that Is Anchor=Yes on Display Settings tab.
One possible reason layered navigation does not show is because you also need to configure your attributes to show in layered navigation.
