I'm trying to limit the output of products on specific categories, i.e. I'd only like to show the first 3 products (no matter how many there actually are).
All solutions I find are to set the pager-size, but I actually need to limit the products in such a way that the layered navigation only renders for those three products.
If I try the below code (in local.xml) to set the pager-size, it does work, but whenever I try to set a limit, it doesn't. Why?
<CATEGORY_229>
<block type="catalog/product_list">
<action method="setLimit"><value>3</value></action>
</block>
</CATEGORY_229>
