How to activate Layered Navigation

Hi,
Have you check ‘Is anchor’ option in backend? (Pls have a look at this link).

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

Hi,

Could you submit a ticket and send me a temporary admin and ftp account? I’ll check it for you.
Thanks.
