Q:

Display all products in Magento static block product_list

I use this code on my CMS home page to display all the products from the root category:
{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" column_count="5" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
It works fine, but I would like to set the limit to "all", to show all products without pagination.
This doesn't seem to work:

Is there any other way to do it in Magento 1.6.2? Or am I doing something wrong?

A:

I don't think you can pass a limit through xml/magic variables.
Source: Setting columns and limiting products shown in grid
Best option to show all of your products in this way would be to create your own module that fetches product collection, relying on Layer class
