i don't know if my title is ok, but what i'm trying to do is something like a gallery or at least my client call it this way...lol..... i'm trying to do something like the seach result page but without a search criteria, without a filter, just click in a link and see a list of products, with the same funcionality, change the view mode(Grid, List), select the amount of products to show and a pager, i need some help here, what I've done so far is, i create a new controller with just one action as simple as \[code\]public function listAction(){ $this->loadLayout(); $this->renderLayout();}\[/code\]in my xml layout \[code\]<catalog_products_list> <reference name="root"> <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1columns.phtml</template></action> </reference> <reference name="left"> <block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/> </reference> <reference name="content"> <block type="catalog/product_uhmalist" name="search_result_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"> <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> <block type="core/text_list" name="additional"> <block type='enterprise_search/suggestions' name='search_suggestions' template="search/suggestions.phtml"></block> <block type='enterprise_search/recommendations' name='search_recommendations' template="search/recommendations.phtml"></block> </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> <action method="setPageLayout"><layout>three_columns</layout></action> </block> <action method="setListOrders"/> <action method="setListModes"/> <action method="setListCollection"/> </reference></catalog_products_list>\[/code\]it is almost identical to catalogsearch_result_index block in catalogsearch.xml, when i tried to go to my new page it show me no products, the collection was empty, so, i change the content of funcion _getProductCollection() in app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\List.php for this \[code\]if (is_null($this->_productCollection)) { $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(5); $productCollection = $category->getProductCollection(); Mage::getModel('catalog/layer')->prepareProductCollection($productCollection); $this->_productCollection = $productCollection->load(); } return $this->_productCollection;\[/code\]i don't like to change the core code, but now i'm trying to make it work, so, when i refresh the page it show me the products, i can change the view mode, i can see the amount of products, but, the pager don't work, when i change the amount of product i whanna show, it do nothing, just change the label 8 Item(s) for Item 1-8 of 8, and doesn't group it, if i pick 5, it should show just 5 items, but i can see the 8 i have in my db, so, what is wrong with my code?, how can i make the pager work??
thanks
