Magento's categoryController::viewAction() calls the category Helper which explicitly denies the display of the root category.
public function canShow($category){
...
if (!$category->isInRootCategoryList()) {
return false;
}
Other than performance, are there specific reasons why this category would be prevented from display?
Our client would like to display all products on one page with layered navigation filters, and using the Root Category with isAnchor = true would be ideal.
