How can I display all anchor categories even with no result (empty category) in Magento?

Question

How can I display all anchor categories in Magento (1.9.0.1) even with no result (empty category) as for attribute product?

As default behavior when I set "anchor" a category, this is shown in "Shopping by" section only if is no empty. I'ld like to show all categories.

Please include code samples or screenshots to visualize the problem. — Benny Bottema, Sep 06 '14 at 16:27
When using ManaDev extension, this functionality is included out-of-the-box. See http://www.manadev.com/ — S P, Sep 08 '14 at 13:16

Dirty & fast way:

Edit: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Layer/Filter/Category.php:170

if ($category->getIsActive() && $category->getProductCount()) {

And remove && $category->getProductCount().

More clean & right way is rewrite entire module extending core class.

Standard "Don't edit the core" message coming from me! Override it or create your own plugin! – Thomas Harding Jun 13 '18 at 09:10
