Solution

  • Does

    Mage_Catalog_Block_Category_List

    exist as a class in either:

    app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Category

    or

    app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Block/Category

    I am running Magento 1.7 and cannot locate that class. Perhaps you are looking for:

    Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List
