Magento

Hi,

Thanks for answering.

Yes, I’m adding it to the home page in CMS. Unfortunatelly, it didn’t work… I’ve changed your code a little, using code instead of attribute, but no luck… here’s the final code…

I’ll keep on trying, will post it here if I sort something out…

Thanks!

Hi,
I don’t think it is fully working, I posted my quick fix here:

Hi tzflorida… thanks for the advise on how to show attributes in the category page. For people who can’t get it to work, make sure you insert the code into catalog.xml in both
<catalog_category_default>
and
<catalog_category_layered>
Cheers!

@Victor - did you test your search results page?

Looks like it was changed. Please try this:

<?php echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('my_weight')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product) ?>

This worked perfectly, added to view.phtml v1.1.1 - Thank you

[EDIT]

This is my final code for displaying my attribute on the product view page. This also makes the text clickable with the URL entered in the attribute field. Also set new classes for the divs.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

@capple_: if it is a plain text attribute, use:

$_product->getData('part_no')
// or
$_product->getPartNo();

If it is a dropdown, use:

$_product->getAttributeText('part_no')

Hi Moshe & everybody,

I tried all the code to display drop down attributes without any success.

I can display text attributes but not drop-down.

Anyone ?

@Gabriiiel

When you tries to print out product in the product list page,

Did you see an attribute you would like to use in the print out debug?

If you don’t see the attribute, you need to addAttributeToSelect in the collection object.

Hi LindyKyaw…

Thx for your answer…

This piece of code only display “Array"…

So… Something is wrong right ? What is the collection.php file to edit and how to do it ?

Thx by advance,

Gab.

Hi

I have also succeeded in getting a custom text product attribute to show in the product list with:

But when the attribute is a selectbox the code above only returns the first text option.
What do I need to get the real selected value.

I’d like to know the solution too.

I can’t find anything about this in the phpdocs.

How can we display in the product list a dropdown attribute ? A yes/no attribute ? A text attribute ? Etc for all type of attribute…

Thx by advance LindyKyaw

The only solution I found for now is hacking in the core:

after (line 64)

In the class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List.

I am now looking for a way to get this working from the product/list.phtml template itself.

It works.

I do appreciate your help. Thanks you Hanneman.

I am able to display text attributes, dropdown attributes, date attributes. But what about yes/no attribute ? Just by curiosity

By the way… Would u know how to display the search results as products lists ? I mean we could be able to see the same informations in the search products than those of the products list

Hi,

The yes/no attribute returns when using

Could be an issue when working with different languages....

Hi Hanneman,

Ok… So this is the same code to use than for text attributes..

Concerning label/value… We can solve it in the phtml… With a piece of code… Not a pb

So thank you

What about the attributes in the list of search results ? How to manage to make it the same than then products list ?

Hello,

Yes, in the search result, would be great to knwo!
