Introduction
Here we will show how to add your more attributes to the category view product list or grid.
Update catalog/product_list block
NOTE: Since v0.9 this method is already implemented
Add this method to Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List.php:
//.../*** Use this method in layouts for extra attributes** @param string $code internal name of attribute*/public function addAttribute($code){$this->_getProductCollection()->addAttributeToSelect($code);return $this;}
This method will be included in future releases.
Update layout XML
Update layouts where needed, add your custom attributes you need to show:
//.../*** Use this method in layouts for extra attributes** @param string $code internal name of attribute*/public function addAttribute($code){$this->_getProductCollection()->addAttributeToSelect($code);return $this;}
Do same thing for <catalog_category_layered>
Update templates
app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/list.phtml:
<!-- ... --><?php foreach ($_productCollection as $_product):?><!-- ... --><!-- these are regular text attributes --><?php echo $_product->getMyAttribute()?><br /><?php echo $_product->getAnotherCustomAttribute()?><!-- this is dropdown attribute --><?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('your_attribute')?><!-- ... --><?php endforeach?><!-- ... -->
