How can I show all products in a category, regardless of its status? I have a category that I want to show all products in the category, even it is disabled, invisible, out of stock, or whatever. I've made a new product/list.phtml template for this specific category and am overriding the Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List to add a new method to accomplish this. In that method is this code
$catId = 432; //for simplicity
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($catId);
return $category->getProductCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('sku');
It is only retrieving enabled products. However, if I run the same code in a testing script (outside of catalog module) that loads Magento, I get all products that I'm looking for, enabled and disabled. How can I accomplish this?
\Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer::prepareProductCollection
