related products attributes on product details page

danieln Total Posts: 131 Joined: 2007-11-08 Mainz, Germany Ignore user	Hello, I would like to display related products with more details (some custom attributes) on the product details page. Right now I’m stuck with the getAttributes() method which results in a blank page. This is the code I’m using in template/catalog/product/list/related.html: `<?php if($this->getItems()->getSize()): ?> <?php foreach($this->getItems() as $_item): ?> <?php /* @var $relatedProduct Mage_Catalog_Model_Product */ $relatedProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item->getId()); Zend_Debug::dump($relatedProduct->getAttributes()); ?> <?php endforeach; ?> <?php endif ?>` On product datails page, attributes are loaded by using the getAdditionalData() method. But this only uses the current product from registry. Now I’m wondering if I would have to extend the Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Attributes to make this method available for other products than the current or if there is a simpler way I didn’t think of. Any suggestions? Best regards, Daniel Signature netz98.de - new media gmbh.

You could use : `var_dump($relatedProduct->getData('attribute1'));` and it seems to work fine.

But I’m looking for the value, not just the entity. I guess I have to go with the class extension… Later, Daniel Signature netz98.de - new media gmbh.
