title: Show a CATEGORY and its products on Homepage, Magento1.9
body: <p>I want to show a Category with its Products on homepage.
  Magento has built in option to show New Products on homepage and I have no idea about how to show different categories on homepage. For example I have created a category and I want to show the products in this category on homepage as below:</p>
  
  <h1>Featured Products</h1>
  
  <p>Product1 
  Product2 
  Product3 </p>
  
  <p>I have tried below code (from previous posts)</p>
  
  <pre><code>{{block type="catalog/product_new" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this gives me below error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Fatal error: Call to a member function getSortedChildren() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\magento1901\app\design\frontend\rwd\default\template\catalog\product\list.phtml on line 134
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Apparently code I mentioned above is for previous versions or Magento. However version 1.9.0.1 gives error.</p>
  
  <p>Please guide how to show categories on homepage. Thanks</p>
