Show Custom attributes in product page?

Question

I am new to Magento Go, I want to have two custom fields in the product description page: features and specifications. It seems like I need to use "Custom Attribute" to achieve this, so I did so, but the custom attribute wouldn't show up in the product page? How do I make it so that it would appear in the product page?

Answer 1

while you creating the custom attribute "Visible on Product View Page on Front-end" set this option to YES it will show the attribute on product page...

Answer 2

There are few ways you can print products custom attribute as follows :

1. $getPrdocutData = $_product->getData();

this will give you an array of all products attributes, so you can use it.

2. $attributes = $product->getAttributes();
   foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
      if ($attribute->getIsVisibleOnFront()) {
         $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($product);
        // do something with $value here
      }
   }

and

3. $productAttrs = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection');
    foreach ($productAttrs as $productAttr) { 
        /** $productAttr Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute */
        var_dump($productAttr->getAttributeCode());
    }

Please try above piece of code to display product attributes.

Answer 3

To display the contents of attribute on product page you need to add following code in view.phtml file.

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

Answer 4

Add code on product page to display All Attribute of the product define attribute must apply option product view on front page set yes:

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->
      createBlock('catalog/product_view_attributes', '', 
      array('template'=> 'catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml'))->toHtml(); 
?>

You may be difine selected attribute to use this code:

$Designer = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId())->
getAttributeText('manufacturer'); 


<?php if($Designer): ?>
        <div class="details"><p><span>Designer:</span> 
<?php echo Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId())->
       getAttributeText('manufacturer');
?></p></div>
<?php endif; ?>
