I just want to add the default filter in my sidebar. When looking at the official Magento demo, you can see this on the left sidebar (Shopping Options.) I assume this is available out of the box to enable since the Magento demo shouldn't be using community modules (I think.)

  • I don't understand how I can elaborate...I want the sidebar filter as in the link? How do I enable the sidebar filter? – o_O Feb 24 '14 at 7:46
  • There is no sidebar filter in the link. Do you want the default product filter as in this link http://demo.magentocommerce.com/apparel – Dexter Feb 24 '14 at 8:01

Goto Admin panel

Catalog->Manage Categories

Click on your category then goto Display Setting Tab

Set Is Anchor -> yes

now you'll set filter options in left side bar.

If you not get the filter,

in admin panel category edit check Custom design Tab

set page layout as 2columns-left.phmtl or 3columns.phtml

or check your catalog.xml file in that make sure the category view page template is 2columns-left.phmtl or 3columns.phtml

It sounds like this is probably layered navigation that you refer to. You can enable this on a per category basis by setting Is Anchor to Yes on the Display Settings tab as explained here.
