I need to create the customer profile image attribute. Anyone can please help how can I create the customer profile image attribute. I need to create the custom attribute in the custom module and I'm using the data patch file.
public function apply()
{
$this->moduleDataSetup->getConnection()->startSetup();
/** #var CustomerSetup $customerSetup */
$customerSetup = $this->customerSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $this->moduleDataSetup]);
$customerEntity = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getEntityType(Customer::ENTITY);
$attributeSetId = $customerEntity->getDefaultAttributeSetId();
/** #var $attributeSet Set */
$attributeSet = $this->attributeSetFactory->create();
$attributeGroupId = $attributeSet->getDefaultGroupId($attributeSetId);
$customerSetup->addAttribute(
Customer::ENTITY,
'profile_image',
[
'label' => 'Profile Image',
'input' => 'text',
'type' => 'file',
'source' => '',
'required' => true,
'position' => 333,
'visible' => true,
'system' => false,
'is_used_in_grid' => true,
'is_visible_in_grid' => true,
'is_filterable_in_grid' => true,
'is_searchable_in_grid' => false,
'backend' => ''
]
);
$attribute = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, 'profile_image');
$attribute->addData([
'used_in_forms' => [
'adminhtml_customer',
'adminhtml_checkout',
'customer_account_create',
'customer_account_edit'
]
]);
$attribute->addData([
'attribute_set_id' => $attributeSetId,
'attribute_group_id' => $attributeGroupId
]);
$attribute->save();
$this->moduleDataSetup->getConnection()->endSetup();
}
When I'm executing the s:up command then it's showing the "Invalid column data type file"
error. Please let me know how can I fix this.
The 'type' parameter must be one of the following:
datetime, decimal, int, text or varchar
Those options corresponds to the customer_entity_* database tables.
Also, there is no standard file 'input' field for customer attributes. You'll need to implement that field input type.

I added "brand" attribute (drop down list) for products.
I'm trying add new attribute (drop down list) to category with values from "brand" attribute.
What should I do to set correct source for this category attribute.
Please see my piece of code in mysql setup file:
$this->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'brand', array(
'group' => 'General',
'type' => 'int'
'backend' => '',
'frontend_input' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'brand',
'input' => 'select'
'class' => '',
'source' => 'mymodule/selecattributes',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible' => true,
'frontend_class' => '',
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => true,
'default' => '',
'position' => 100,
));
$this->endSetup();
Thanks in advance.
EDIT 1
I added class MyPackage_MyModule_Model_SelectAttributes extends extends Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Source_Abstract :
class MyPackage_MyModule_Model_SelectAttributes extends Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Source_Abstract{
public function getAllOptions()
{
$attributeCode = 'brand';
$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', $attributeCode); //here, "color" is the attribute_code
$allOptions = $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true, true);
foreach ($allOptions as $instance) {
$myArray[$instance['value']] = $instance['label'];
}
return $myArray;
}
}
EDIT 2
When I open category admin page I get this error:
"Source model "mymodule/selectattributes" not found for attribute "brands""
I'm guessing that your source model is in a file named Selectattributes.php. If you are using a case-sensitive filesystem you will need to do one of two things:
Rename your class definition file to Selectattributes.php
or
Change the source_model value for your brands attribute to mymodule/selectAttributes
When Magento is attempting to instantiate the source model for your attribute, the classname (and hence the autoload include path) being calculated work as follows:
MyPackage_MyModule_Model_Selectattributes
MyPackage/MyModule/Model/Selectattributes.php
Note the issue with the filename. Note that this should be working in a non-case-sensitive filesystem.
I've done a bit of searching online but I have not found any answers to this question yet. I have a situation where I need a product attribute that is a decimal value and it must support negative numbers as well as positive and must also be sortable. For some reason, Magento does not have a "decimal" attribute type. The only type that uses decimal values is Price, but that doesn't support negative numbers. If I use "text" as the type, it supports whatever I want, but it doesn't sort properly because it sees the values as strings rather than floating point numbers. I have been able to work around this issue, as others have in posts I've found, by manually editing the eav_attribute table and changing 'frontend_input' from 'price' to 'text', but leaving the 'backend_type' as 'decimal'. This works great...until someone edits the attribute in the admin panel. Once you save the attribute, Magento notices that the frontend_input is 'text' and changes the 'backend_type' to 'varchar'. The only way around this that I can think of is by creating a custom attribute type, but I'm not sure where to start and I can't find any details online for this.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, what have you done to correct it? If I need to create a custom attribute type, do you have any tips or can you point me at any tutorials out there for doing this?
Thanks!
What you want to do is create a custom attribute type.
This can be done by first creating a installer script (this updates the database).
startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'product_type', array(
'group' => 'Product Options',
'label' => 'Product Type',
'note' => '',
'type' => 'dec', //backend_type
'input' => 'select', //frontend_input
'frontend_class' => '',
'source' => 'sourcetype/attribute_source_type',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_WEBSITE,
'required' => true,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'apply_to' => 'simple',
'is_configurable' => false,
'used_in_product_listing' => false,
'sort_order' => 5,
));
$installer->endSetup();
After that you need to create a custom php class named:
Whatever_Sourcetype_Model_Attribute_Source_Type
And in there paste this in:
class Whatever_Sourcetype_Model_Attribute_Source_Type extends Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Source_Abstract
{
const MAIN = 1;
const OTHER = 2;
public function getAllOptions()
{
if (is_null($this->_options)) {
$this->_options = array(
array(
'label' => Mage::helper('sourcetype')->__('Main Product'),
'value' => self::MAIN
),
array(
'label' => Mage::helper('sourcetype')->__('Other Product'),
'value' => self::OTHER
),
);
}
return $this->_options;
}
public function toOptionArray()
{
return $this->getAllOptions();
}
public function addValueSortToCollection($collection, $dir = 'asc')
{
$adminStore = Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID;
$valueTable1 = $this->getAttribute()->getAttributeCode() . '_t1';
$valueTable2 = $this->getAttribute()->getAttributeCode() . '_t2';
$collection->getSelect()->joinLeft(
array($valueTable1 => $this->getAttribute()->getBackend()->getTable()),
"`e`.`entity_id`=`{$valueTable1}`.`entity_id`"
. " AND `{$valueTable1}`.`attribute_id`='{$this->getAttribute()->getId()}'"
. " AND `{$valueTable1}`.`store_id`='{$adminStore}'",
array()
);
if ($collection->getStoreId() != $adminStore) {
$collection->getSelect()->joinLeft(
array($valueTable2 => $this->getAttribute()->getBackend()->getTable()),
"`e`.`entity_id`=`{$valueTable2}`.`entity_id`"
. " AND `{$valueTable2}`.`attribute_id`='{$this->getAttribute()->getId()}'"
. " AND `{$valueTable2}`.`store_id`='{$collection->getStoreId()}'",
array()
);
$valueExpr = new Zend_Db_Expr("IF(`{$valueTable2}`.`value_id`>0, `{$valueTable2}`.`value`, `{$valueTable1}`.`value`)");
} else {
$valueExpr = new Zend_Db_Expr("`{$valueTable1}`.`value`");
}
$collection->getSelect()
->order($valueExpr, $dir);
return $this;
}
public function getFlatColums()
{
$columns = array(
$this->getAttribute()->getAttributeCode() => array(
'type' => 'int',
'unsigned' => false,
'is_null' => true,
'default' => null,
'extra' => null
)
);
return $columns;
}
public function getFlatUpdateSelect($store)
{
return Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute')
->getFlatUpdateSelect($this->getAttribute(), $store);
}
}
Hope this helps.

I have my module. This module has installation script where should be add custom image field to categories.
$setup->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'additional_image', array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'backend' => 'catalog/category_attribute_backend_image',
'label' => 'Additional Image',
'input' => 'image',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'visible' => 1,
'required' => 0,
'user_defined' => 0,
'default' => '',
'position' => 6,
));
After that it must change captions other image fields (Image, Thumbnail). How I can get this system's fields and change their?
You can do this using Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup::updateAttribute() method.
This is a long way off but someone else may need the information.
Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup::updateAttribute()
has 5 arguments, 3 of which are necessary.
I am going to use the example of a custom customer attribute:
$entityTypeId = 'customer'
$id = 'my_custom_attribute_code'
$field = 'is_used_for_customer_segment'
$value = '1'
$sortOrder = Not Needed
So as you can see I am using the customer entity to update the attribute. I am updating my custom attribute with attribute id (code) my_custom_attribute_code. The field in this attribute that I am udpating is the is_used_for_customer_segment and setting the value to yes(1).
Here is an example of how to do this as an update.
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->updateAttribute('customer', 'my_custom_attribute_code', 'is_used_for_customer_segment', '1');
$installer->endSetup();
As per bens comment and answer I updated my script, comments indicate changes
{Magento 1.4.0.1} currently i have an installer script:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
//commented out to use factory method
//$setup = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup('core_setup');
$setup = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/setup','core_setup');
if(!$setup->getAttribute('catalog_product','attribute_code')){
$newFields = array(
'attribute_code' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Attribute Label',
//added visible option
'visible' => false,
),
);
$entities = array(
'catalog_product',
);
foreach($newFields as $attributeName => $attributeDefs) {
foreach ($entities as $entity) {
$setup->addAttribute($entity, $attributeName, array(
'type' => $attributeDefs['type'],
'label' => $attributeDefs['label'],
//added visible option
'visible' => $attributeDefs['visible'],
'class' => '',
'required' => false,
));
}
}
}
$installer->endSetup();
It works wonderfully! Except the attribute shows up in the General attribute group when editing the product and I don't want it to show up at all (its a secret ninja attribute) is there something I'm doing wrong? or perhaps something I should be doing to let Magento know not its not supposed to show up?
Using addAttribute() you can set the 'visibleindex tofalse. UsingupdateAttribute()` you should do the following:
$setup->updateAttribute('catalog_product','attr_code','is_visible',false);
Let me know if I'm wrong.
I want to add a new field "custom_house_no" for the shipping address during the onepage checkout process.
I have added the below code in my custom extension mysql file "mysql4-install-0.1.0.php"
// Customer Address
$entityTypeId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('customer_address');
$attributeSetId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
$attributeGroupId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId);
$installer->addAttribute('customer_address', 'custom_house_no', array(
'label' => 'Custom House No',
'input' => 'text', // Input field type textbox
'type' => 'varchar', // Store varchar data type
'frontend' => '', //frontend model
'backend' => '', //backend model
'visible' => 1, //true
'required' => 0, //false
'user_defined' => 1,
'default' => '', //default value
'searchable' => 0,
'filterable' => 0,
'comparable' => 0,
'visible_on_front' => 0,
'unique' => 0,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL
// 'class' => '',
// 'source' => 'catalog/category_attribute_source_page',
));
$installer->addAttributeToGroup(
$entityTypeId,
$attributeSetId,
$attributeGroupId,
'custom_house_no',
'150' //last Magento's attribute position in General tab is 140
);
$attribute = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')->getAttribute('customer_address', 'custom_house_no');
$attribute->setData('used_in_forms', array('customer_register_address', 'customer_address_edit', 'adminhtml_customer_address')); // Setting the relation between the attribute and forms in which this attribute will be used
$attribute->save();`
I have also made a class in folder MY/CustomExtension/Model/Entity/Setup.php
class MY_CustomExtension_Model_Entity_Setup extends Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup {
}
I have also added the class name in the extension config file.
Link to config code : Config File Content
And in the shipping template file i have added the textbox with the name "custom_house_no".
The attribute has been added successfully and he relationship with the forms, but all the data is getting save in the database except the "custom_house_no" field.
Most likely you need to play with fieldsets. Take a look at those defined in config.xml of core Mage/Checkout module and extend them in your module config
