Magento Custom Attributes in Product List
So this one stumped me for a little while – it simply did not make sense as to why I was unable to access a custom attribute assigned to a product in Magento on the product list/product grid (see previous post on the code to do this). You need to ensure the custom attribute is set to display on the front end in order to access the data!
In the admin panel go to Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attributes and select your custom attribute. From here set “Visible on Product View Page on Front-end” to yes:
That’s it – done!

I am having trouble with this in Enterprise edition — is it located in the same place as community edition?
Hi Bret,
Do have any idea for it to work in /sales/order/items/renderer/default.phmtl??
I just can not get it to work there.
SarahRT – Yes this is located in the same place in Enterprise (at least 1.8+ that I was able to check)

Hi Joshua,
I have not used it there specifically but try it using $_item as opposed to $_product – something like echo $_item->getAttributeCode;

I have problem. I have 2 servers. Beta and live. On beta this lines work:
getAttributeText(‘free_shipping_new’);
echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getData(‘free_shipping’));
echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getFreeShipping(), ‘free_shipping’) ;
echo $_product->getFreeShipping()
?>
In both i use layout
free_shippingAny idea?
2Joshua Valentin – use layout
Well, start with the basics, the attribute was created identically on the production server, correct?
