How to activate Layered Navigation

Hi,

Is it possible to activate layered navigation in combination with the JM bistro theme?
-- several attributes have been set to ‘use in layered navigation -- with results’ with drop down values.

the default navigation filter ‘price’ is not showing either

Anyone had a similar issue and how did you solve it?

Many thanks in advance for any clues!

Tim

Dear Hien,

I checked all categories and set them to ‘is anchor’. nothing changed :
Attachment 19563

What else do I need to modify?
-- to see the number of products in a category each time beside the category name
-- to enable layered navigation on price
-- to enable layered navigation on atributes

Many thanks
Tim

Hi,
It seems that this template doesn’s show this option by default, you can activate it by going to file:

Code:

\app\design\frontend\default\Your_Template\layout\catalog.xml

In approx line 109, you should see this code:

Code:

<catalog_category_layered translate="label">
 <label>Catalog Category (Anchor)</label>
  <reference name="left">   <<---- Change to "right"
  <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>

and remember to flush the cache.

Dear Hien,

unfortunately it’s not helping.

do I need to change

name="catalog.leftnav"
to
name="catalog.rightnav"

I prefer asking before screwing up my website.

Thanks a lot.
Tim
