Hi,

Try placing the attribute within

like so:

Oliver,

Ignore my previous post, it was just a shot in the dark plus I’m a newbie, so forgive me. Back to the issue at hand, is there a function called addAttribute in the file called List.php in the core?

Looks like it was changed. Please try this:

Anyone get this working yet????

if you did can you please help with code,.,,,

Thank you,

Any one get this working yet???

A possible solution is to add your attribute to layer model file ( app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Layer.php )
to the function prepareProductColletion($collection) at line 56

Only after that, you can do

Note: This is not elegant. Elegant would have been to be able to do

Hi all,

I’m wondering if the modifications for this would be the same to get an attribute to display on the shopping cart page?

I’ve tried editing checkout.xml with this on line 54:

And cart.phtml with this on line 79:

But nothing shows up. Any ideas?

Thanks,

This is how it is done:

insert the following wherever you want your custom attribute value to appear:

The code “author” was used as an example above.
You will have to insert the desired attribute code (found under ‘Manage Attributes’ in Magento Admin).
Please pay attention to capitalization.

Only the attribute value is pulled with this function and not the label of the attribute (in this case “Author"), as opposed to the product pages which list both. So in the case of the example above, you would want to ad “Author:” or the like, in front of it, if desired, for example like this:

Then you also need to add the following code in the layout/catalog.xml file:

Insert it immediately after:

In both:

and

That should do it.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Omg it works.

Thx you very much.

@tzflorida: Thanks, man. Works like a charm here (inside the category pages).

I still can’t get it to work on the home page, though… I’m inserting a block like:

Anyone knows where the <action method="addAttribute"> tag should be added?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gabriel,

Try this:

Put the action tag within the block tag you specified… like this:

You are trying to use this within the CMS of Magento?

This is something I will also need… however, I have not yet had the time to test it out.

Let me know if that works.
