Magento

Hello, I have some custom attribute using “Price” catalog type. What I want to do is to display that attribute. Normally those kind of attribute show up automatically in additional information block in product view page, but I remove that code from my custom theme to give extra control to what I want to display.

For custom attribute using “Drop down” attribute, I manage to display that attribute using this kind of code:
$_product->getResource()->getAttribute(’custom_attribute’)->getFrontend()->getValue($_product)

The question is, what kind of code should I use to display that attribute? I’ve try above code with no luck.

Im trying to do something similar, have you received any solutions yet?

@spider: if you want to add custom attributes to product listing, you will have to add them in the layout xml.

To save time we do not load all the available attributes for all product in the list, only necessary ones (name, image, url_key, etc.)

Edit main.xml, find handles <catalog_category_default> and <catalog_category_layered> and replace in both:

<block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list"></block>

with:

<block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list">
   <action method="addAttribute"><code>custom_attribute</code></action>
</block>

You will need to repeat <action> tag for each additional attribute you wish to see in product list.

The only thing left is put the attribute in the list. To do so, open template/catalog/product/view.phtml and add your attribute this way:

Ok, now the problem is: in search result and tagged products pages the custom_attribute is not showing anymore, and if I add the attribute in the catalogsearch.xml and tag.xml layout files, this ugly error is the result:

Somebody from the magento staff could explain this please?
