    {
        if (!$this->hasData('current_category')) {
            $category = Mage::registry('current_category');
            if (!$category)
            {
                //get the root category
                $id = $this->getCategoryId();
                $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($id);
            }
            $this->setData('current_category', $category);
        }
        return $this->getData('current_category');

2. Override Sugarcode_Catalog_Block_Layer_View to your local

class Sugarcode_Catalog_Block_Layer_View extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Layer_View
{
   
 
 protected $categoryId;
 protected $fromHomePage = false;
   
    protected function _construct()
    {
        parent::_construct();

        $this->_initBlocks();
    }

   public function setCategoryId($id)
    {
 
        $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($id);
        if ($category->getId()) {
            Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->setCurrentCategory($category);
   $this->setData('current_category', $category);
   $this->categoryId=$id;
   $filterableAttributes =   Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->getFilterableAttributes();
   
   $stateBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock($this->_stateBlockName)
            ->setLayer(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer'));

        $categoryBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock($this->_categoryBlockName)
            ->setLayer(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer'))
            ->init();

        $this->setChild('layer_state', $stateBlock);
        $this->setChild('category_filter', $categoryBlock);

        $filterableAttributes = $this->_getFilterableAttributes();
        foreach ($filterableAttributes as $attribute) {
            if ($attribute->getAttributeCode() == 'price') {
                $filterBlockName = $this->_priceFilterBlockName;
            } elseif ($attribute->getBackendType() == 'decimal') {
                $filterBlockName = $this->_decimalFilterBlockName;
            } else {
                $filterBlockName = $this->_attributeFilterBlockName;
            }

            $this->setChild($attribute->getAttributeCode() . '_filter',
                $this->getLayout()->createBlock($filterBlockName)
                    ->setLayer(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer'))
                    ->setAttributeModel($attribute)
                    ->init());
        }

        Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->apply();

  
  
        }
 
    }
 
 
    /**
     * Prepare child blocks
     *
     * @return Mage_Catalog_Block_Layer_View
     */
    public function _prepareLayout()
    {
 //parent::_prepareLayout();
  if (!Mage::registry('current_category'))
        {
  
            $this->fromHomePage = true;
            $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
                ->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
                ->load($this->categoryId);

            if (!Mage::helper('catalog/category')->canShow($category)) 
            {
                return false;
            }
    
            Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session')->setLastVisitedCategoryId($category->getId());
            Mage::register('current_category', $category); 
    Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->setCurrentCategory($category);
   
        }
        $stateBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock($this->_stateBlockName)
            ->setLayer($this->getLayer());

        $categoryBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock($this->_categoryBlockName)

            ->init();

        $this->setChild('layer_state', $stateBlock);
        $this->setChild('category_filter', $categoryBlock);

        $filterableAttributes = $this->_getFilterableAttributes();
        foreach ($filterableAttributes as $attribute) {
            if ($attribute->getAttributeCode() == 'price') {
                $filterBlockName = $this->_priceFilterBlockName;
            } elseif ($attribute->getBackendType() == 'decimal') {
                $filterBlockName = $this->_decimalFilterBlockName;
            } else {
                $filterBlockName = $this->_attributeFilterBlockName;
            }

            $this->setChild($attribute->getAttributeCode() . '_filter',
                $this->getLayout()->createBlock($filterBlockName)

                    ->setAttributeModel($attribute)
                    ->init());
        }

        $this->getLayer()->apply();

        return parent::_prepareLayout();
    }
}

3. In CMS design->custom XMl make
Custom Layout:- 2 columns with left bar
XML add below code

<reference name="left">
            <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav33" after="-"  template="catalog/layer/view.phtml">
   <action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>3</category_id></action>
   </block>
        </reference>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="catalog/category_view" name="category.products" template="catalog/category/view.phtml" >
                <block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
                    <!-- <action method="addReviewSummaryTemplate"><type>default</type><template>review/helper/su.phtml</template></action> -->
     <action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>3</category_id></action>

                    </block>
                    <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>empty</layout><count>6</count></action>

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 126 Incorrect key file for table Error in Magento

Hi,

If you face error some thing like “SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 126 Incorrect key file for table ‘/var/tmp/#sql_41ac_0.MYI’; try to repair it” error its because of MySQL tmp folder space issue

there is not enough space in /tmp for the temporary table, so this error will through
I fixed this by setting “tmpdir = /home/tmp” (which has lots of space on my host) in my.cnf
just create a folder tmp which has enough space and give tmpdir in my.cnf in my case i used home/tmp where i had enough space for tmp directory but in your case it may change
Enjoy :-)

If you need to go back to same page once it logged in ,

 $loginback=$this->helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
 $check=strstr($loginback, 'customer/account/login');
 if(!strlen($check)){
 Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->setLoginBackUrl($loginback);
 }
}

override app\\code\\core\\Mage\\Customer\\controllers\\AccountController.php to you local or custom module and add this function

 public function _loginPostRedirect()
    {
        $session = $this->_getSession();

        if (!$session->getBeforeAuthUrl() || $session->getBeforeAuthUrl() == Mage::getBaseUrl()) {

            // Set default URL to redirect customer to
            $session->setBeforeAuthUrl(Mage::helper('customer')->getAccountUrl());
            // Redirect customer to the last page visited after logging in
            if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
   $backUrlcustom=Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getLoginBackUrl();
                if (!Mage::getStoreConfigFlag('customer/startup/redirect_dashboard')) {
                    $referer = $this->getRequest()->getParam(Mage_Customer_Helper_Data::REFERER_QUERY_PARAM_NAME);
                    if ($referer) {
                        $referer = Mage::helper('core')->urlDecode($referer);
                        if ($this->_isUrlInternal($referer)) {
                            $session->setBeforeAuthUrl($referer);
                        }
                    }
                } else if ($session->getAfterAuthUrl()) {
                    $session->setBeforeAuthUrl($session->getAfterAuthUrl(true));
                } else if (strlen($backUrlcustom)) {
     Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->setLoginBackUrl('');
                    $session->setBeforeAuthUrl($backUrlcustom);
                }
            } else {
                $session->setBeforeAuthUrl(Mage::helper('customer')->getLoginUrl());
            }
        } else if ($session->getBeforeAuthUrl() == Mage::helper('customer')->getLogoutUrl()) {
            $session->setBeforeAuthUrl(Mage::helper('customer')->getDashboardUrl());
        } else {
            if (!$session->getAfterAuthUrl()) {
                $session->setAfterAuthUrl($session->getBeforeAuthUrl());
            }
            if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
                $session->setBeforeAuthUrl($session->getAfterAuthUrl(true));
            }
        }
        $this->_redirectUrl($session->getBeforeAuthUrl(true));
