This article is describing easy & best way to add/show custom attribute to product details page correctly.follow the step by step guideline through the article below.
I’m using Magento 1.9
1-Create a new attribute from admin panel.
–Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attributes
-I’m creating “product_specifications” as the attribute code.
-Make sure the value Yes for “Visible on Product View Page on Front-end”
-Scope- Global , Catalog Input Type for Store Owner-Text Area
-Assign this attribute to the “Attribute Set”.
2-Edit layout files
Method -1 (catalog.xml)
1- Go here:- app/design/frontend/yourtheme/layout/catalog.xml
Find the following code.
detailed_info
2-Add the following code after the above code.
detailed_info Specifications
3-Save the file.
Method -2 (local.xml)
1- Go here:- app/design/frontend/yourtheme/layout/local.xml
2-Add the following code after the above code.
detailed_info Product Details
3-Save the file.
3-Create template file
1-Create a new file app/design/frontend/yourtheme/template/catalog/product/view/productspecifications.phtml
2-Add this code there and save the file.
//echo $_product->getData('product_specifications');
$_proId= Mage::registry('current_product')->getId();
$_product= Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_proId);
$CustomAttribute= $_product->getData('product_specifications');
echo $CustomAttribute;
NOTE:- Go the the magento cache and clear the cache. Also clear the browser cache.
-Now add a product under specific attribute set.
You can see the added attribute there.
Go to the frontend then you can see it.
