You can implement category navigation using Loop54. This is a fast and easy way to retrieve products and can also be extended with features such as faceting, custom sorting, personal or aggregated popularity sorting and more.
$request = new Loop54_Request("ProductsInCategory");
$request->setValue("RequestEntity",new Loop54_Entity("Category",$_GET{"category"}));
$request->setValue("ProductsInCategory_FromIndex", 0);
$request->setValue("ProductsInCategory_ToIndex", 9);
$response = Loop54_RequestHandling::getResponse("http://helloworld.54proxy.com", $request);
if ($response->success)
{
if($response->hasData("ProductsInCategory"))
{
$results = $response->getCollection("ProductsInCategory");
if(count($results)==0)
echo "There were no items in this category.";
foreach($results as $resultItem)
{
$productId = $resultItem->key->externalId;
$productTitle = $resultItem->key->getStringAttribute("Title");
echo $productId . " " . $productTitle; //render a product on the category listing page
}
}
}
else
{
echo $response->requestId; //log this
