Hi sherrie,

The code i have in homeview.phtml is this:

<?php if($this->canShowBlock()): ?>
<div class="block block-layered-nav">
    <
div class="block-title">
        <
h3><?php echo $this->__('Shop by'?></h3>
    </
div>
    <
div class="block-content">
        
<?php echo $this->getStateHtml() ?>
        <?php 
if($this->canShowOptions()): ?>
            
<!--<h3><?php // echo $this->__('Shopping Options') ?></h3>-->
            
<dl>
                
<?php $_filters $this->getFilters() ?>
                <?php 
foreach ($_filters as $_filter): ?>
                <?php 
if($_filter->getItemsCount()): ?>
                    
<dt><?php echo $_filter->getName() ?></dt>
                    <
dd><?php echo str_replace(array('?','/?'),array('rootusados?','/rootusados?'),$_filter->getHtml()) ?></dd>
                
<?php endif; ?>
                <?php 
endforeach; ?>
            
</dl>
        
<?php endif; ?>
    
</div>
</
div>
<?php endif; ?>

My links doesn’t work because i have this line like this:

<?php echo str_replace(array('?','/?'),array('ROOTCATEGORY?','/ROOTCATEGORY?'),$_filter->getHtml()) ?>

And my category URL Key is rootusados, so I changed to this:

<?php echo str_replace(array('?','/?'),array('rootusados?','/rootusados?'),$_filter->getHtml()) ?>

And the links start working properly.

I take a look in your project: http://www.minervapromotions.com/techusa/ and i see that your root category for layered navigation doesn’t appear in the menu bar, how do you do that??

Well I have the layered navigation category set to the root of the normal navigation, but it’s not functioning correctly. I’m not sure if that’s the problem or not.

My menus should be like in non_working_front_end.png (images atached).
But when the menus looks like this the layered navigation doesn’t work. In that situation my category tree looks like non_working.png .

When I change my category tree to something like working.png the Layered Navigation in home page works perfectly but my layered navigation root category appears in the front-end (working_front_end.png). I don’t want my layered navigation root category to appear in my front-end menu bar.

Can you show me how you have yours??

Mine is just like yours actually, if you try to narrow it you’ll see it’s not working either - I thought you had yours working which is why I asked what your code looks like.

Actually mine is assigned to a different root category right now, but it still goes to a bad URL.

My homeview.phtml code is:

<?php if($this->canShowBlock()): ?>
    
<div class="box layered-nav">
        <
div class="head">
            <
h3 class="title"><?php echo $this->__('Shop by'?></h3>
        </
div>
        

        
<?php echo $this->getStateHtml() ?>
        <?php 
if($this->canShowOptions()): ?>
        
<div class="content no-padding">
            <
div class="narrow-by">
                <
dl id="narrow-by-list">
                    
<?php $_filters $this->getFilters() ?>
                    <?php 
foreach ($_filters as $_filter): ?>
                    <?php 
if($_filter->getItemsCount()): ?>
                    
<dt><?php echo $_filter->getName() ?></dt>
                    <
dd>
                    
<?php echo str_replace(array('?','/?'),array('home-page-2?','/home-page-2?'),$_filter->getHtml()) ?>
                    
</dd>
                    
<?php endif; ?>
                    <?php 
endforeach; ?>
                
</dl>
                <
script type="text/javascript">decorateDataList('narrow-by-list')</script>
            
</div>
        </
div>
        
<?php endif; ?>
    
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Every thing looks ok in your code.

What I can suggest you to do is to delete your current layered navigation root category and create a new one and add home-page-2 as URL Key from your new Root Category.

If you don’t want to delete your root category you can search for it in data base and see if it URL Key is home-page-2.

My IndexController.php looks like this:

class Mage_Cms_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    
public function indexAction($coreRoute null)
    
{
        
// ADICIONADO POR HERCILIO PARA TER LAYERED NAVIGATION NA HOME PAGE - VISTO EM: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/4810/
        
        
$categoryId 17// ID OF CATEGORY YOU WANT ON HOMEPAGE
            
        
$category Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
            ->
setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
            ->
load($categoryId);

        if (!
Mage::helper('catalog/category')->canShow($category)) {
            
return false;
        
}
        
        Mage
::getSingleton('catalog/session')->setLastVisitedCategoryId($category->getId());
        
Mage::register('current_category'$category); 
        
        
// FIM DE ADIÇÃO 
        
        
$pageId Mage::getStoreConfig('web/default/cms_home_page');
        if (!
Mage::helper('cms/page')->renderPage($this$pageId)) {
            $this
->_forward('defaultIndex');
        
}
    }

This is so strange - when I add that into my IndexController.php I get a blank front page on my site.

You get a blank Home Page because of your category ID.

You need to change this:

$categoryId 17// ID OF CATEGORY YOU WANT ON HOMEPAGE

To see your root category ID you can follow this link: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/17998/#top
