Magento2: Filter block on category is still present also mode is to just show "static block"

[andidhouse]

Preconditions

1. Magento Versions 2.1.2 via download

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a category and set it to just show a cms block

Expected result

1. The layered filter navigation is not shown - as there are no products shown in the category just a cms block

Actual result

1. The layered navigation block is shown on category site

I think this was reported here some times ago but i can not find it and it is still present on 2.1.2

Can someone maybe point us how to exclude this block via XML update on backend category view?

Many thanks!

We've created internal ticket MAGETWO-70347 to address this issue.

In case it helps anyone in the meantime, I know it is not best way but changing

Block\Category\View.php isContentMode function to the following got rid of the side bar for me:

    /**
     * Check if category display mode is "Static Block Only"
     * For anchor category with applied filter Static Block Only mode not allowed
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function isContentMode()
    {
        $category = $this->getCurrentCategory();
        $res = false;
        if ($category->getDisplayMode() == \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::DM_PAGE) {
            $res = true;
            if ($category->getIsAnchor()) {
                $state = $this->_catalogLayer->getState();
                if ($state && $state->getFilters()) {
                    $res = false;
                }
            }
        }

        // Added to remove side bar in static block only categories.
        if ($res) {
            $this->getLayout()->unsetChild('columns','div.sidebar.main');
            $this->getLayout()->unsetChild('columns','div.sidebar.additional');
            $this->getLayout()->unsetChild('columns','main');
            $this->getLayout()->unsetChild('main.content','columns');
        }
        return $res;
    }

@andidhouse, thank you for your report.
We've created internal ticket(s) MAGETWO-70347 to track progress on the issue.

[andidhouse]

@magento-engcom-team thanks for this.
But to be honest creating a internal ticket to track the issue after 10 month is kind of senseless for us.
It now takes another 3-6 month to fix this? So we are one year later with a small fix - this is not a timeline we can live with to be honest.

This is still an issue on 2.1.7 is there any temporary fix for this ?

In case, i am suggesting to make Anchor field Value at Display Setting to NO .

,Bcoz by default at magento2Anchor field value is set As YES.

I have also check same scenario at magento 1.X.If you category has Products and Display Setting* to YES and _Display setting is only static block_.Then on left panel ,you will layer navigations and right section CMS static block.

[lano-vargas]

@devamitbera It does not work in 2.1.7*
I've tested it 2.1.0 I can confirm it works. a reminder that both are clean magento installation.
Now the only solution I've came up with is to remove with xml update catalog.leftnav instead of sidebar.main

This is not fixed in 2.2.5!

[priti2jcommerce]

Hi @crysix ,

this is fixed in 2.2.5
if there is need to remove leftnav sidebar from category make the changes as below

and if there is need to remove leftnav sidebar and additional sidebar make the changes as below

[crysix]

I know, that I can use that XML code, to remove the block (thats what I am doing currently), but that is no "fix"!!!
If you have 1 column, there shouldn't be a left sidebar at all.

Still not working in M2.3

A simple workaround which works for me: edit line 18 of /vendor/magento/module-layered-navigation/view/frontend/templates/layer/view.phtml and change:

<?php if ($block->canShowBlock()): ?>

to:

<?php if ($block->canShowBlock() && $block->getLayer()->getCurrentCategory()->getDisplayMode() !== "PAGE"): ?>

Unfortunately, we are archiving this ticket now as it did not get much attention from both Magento Community and Core developers for an extended period. This is done in an effort to create a quality, community-driven backlog which will allow us to allocate the required attention more easily.
