Adding Custom Attributes to Product Categories in Magento

This is the first in a series of helpful quick posts which give short guides on how to deal with Magento, the open source e-commerce platform.

Today we are going to look at how to add custom attributes to products within category listings.  Magento can be a complete minefield to even the most experienced users, things which seem simple can often be quite difficult to achieve!

To display custom attributes paste this code into your list.phtml file

<?php echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute(‘CustomAttribute’)->getFrontend()->getValue($_product); ?>

Make sure you change the ‘CustomAttribute’ section to the name of the chosen attribute you wish to display.

That’s all there is to it, hope you guys find this helpful!
