Question
I have a sidebar whislist /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/wishlist/sidebar.phtml I need to add a "custom attribute" called manufacturer.
I have tried many options like these but all don't show a thing:
<?php echo $this->getManufacturer()) ?>
<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_item->getData('manufacturer')); ?>
<?php echo $_product->getManufacturer() ?>
<?php $_item = $this->getItem()?>
<?php $_product= Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')->load($_item->getProductId()) ?>
<?php echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('manufacturer')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product); ?>
<?php echo $item->getAttributeText('manufacturer') ?>
<?php echo $item->getResource()->getAttribute('manufacturer')->getFrontend()->getValue($item); ?>
Thisone shows "3" and no manufacturer name, at least showing something..
<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_item->getManufacturer()) ?>
How can I get my manufacturer there? I can show them about everywhere else..
Solution
Look at the loop code of sidebar, by default it's:
<?php foreach ($this->getWishlistItems() as $_item): ?>
Inside thip loop $_item->getManufacturer() will return your attribute value, but you have to be sure, that product have this attribute fulfilled.
You can display it i.e. like this:
<?php if ( $_item->getManufacturer() ): ?>
Manufacturer: <?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_item->getManufacturer()) ?>
<?php endif ?>
Edit:
Which Magento version you're using? Probably this code will work, but its not optimal:
<?php if ( $manufacturer = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item->getId())->getAttributeText('manufacturer') ): ?>
Manufacturer: <?php echo $this->htmlEscape( $manufacturer ) ?>
<?php endif ?>
OTHER TIPS
The reason this isn't working:
<?php echo $item->getAttributeText('manufacturer') ?>
Is likely because manufacturer
isn't in the $item
's parent collection.
You need to extend the method that gets the collection and add the manufacturer attribute from Mage_Wishlist_Model_Resource_Item_Collection
:
/**
* Retrieve Wishlist Product Items collection
*
* @return Mage_Wishlist_Model_Resource_Item_Collection
*/
public function getWishlistItems()
{
if (is_null($this->_collection)) {
$this->_collection = clone $this->_createWishlistItemCollection();
$this->_collection->clear();
$this->_prepareCollection($this->_collection);
}
$this->_collection->addAttributeToSelect('manufacturer');
return $this->_collection;
}
