Looks like this no longer works in version 1.4. Any idea how to list products from a category in this new version?

This is a great article on how to use code snippets in design. I purchased a magento template for my first magento site that gave me great insight on how to use xml markup. For those still following along may be interested in a code hack for finding category ids. It is provided by my own magento host at http://www.sonassi.com/knowledge-base/quick-script-to-export-categories-with-ids/.
Keep up the good work.

regards Tony

Hi, I think you’d use a category list, not a product list – but same principle. Let us know how you get on.

I am working on this site: http://www.cavellequipment.com/ and I need to get just the grid of category thumbs/links from this page: http://www.cavellequipment.com/index.php/products.html onto the homepage. Would I use a similar code to do this?
Thanks!
-Mike

example in your cms home page

.cms-home .pager, .cms-home .sorter {
display: none;
}

{{block type=”catalog/product_list” category_id=”4″ template=”catalog/product/list.phtml”}}
