Adding Product Attributes to Productlisting

ncn Total Posts: 3 Joined: 2008-03-06 Germany Ignore user	Hello, iam working an a magento-based project. I am currently customizing the Product listenings. But i dont find a way to put the attribute XY of a product to the listing. I´d like to do that without customizing any core-code - just using the templates. Can somebody help me? best regards Hendrik (I´am from Germany - Sorry for my bad englisch ) Signature ncn KG // newmedia. creative. network.

You can find Template for listing here frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/list.phtml For example you can print attribute called processor in backend by typing: `<? $_product->getProcessor(); ?>` or attribute shoe_type (from demo data of magento) `<? $_product->getShoeType(); ?>` Hope iam right and understood your need, also from germany with bad english Cheers Stefan Signature mzentrale \| eCommerce - eBusiness Agentur für eCommerce Beratung, Entwicklung & Marketing.

The systemattributes (like costs etc) shows me a result, but the attributes i added didnt get any output. or is it not possible to read Dropdown Attributes? Maybe its too late and i only misstipped or something - so i will work on it and report my results here. Hendrik Signature ncn KG // newmedia. creative. network.
