I've searched everywhere for the answer, muddled through Magento and I can't find a working solution. I'm creating magento attributes dynamically and that's fine, but when it comes to
setting the values
setting the default value
adding more options
making the attribute searchable
nothing seems to work.
Here is my code for adding an attribute
$key = "Brand";
$name = "brand";
$specific = "Cola";
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', $name, array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'input' => 'select',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => $key,
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => true,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => true,
'filterable' => true,
'comparable' => true,
'visible' => true,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => true,
'unique' => false,
'apply_to' => '',
'is_configurable' => false,
'option' => array(
'values' => array($specific)
)
));
$installer->endSetup();
$attrID = $installer->getAttribute('catalog_product', $name,'attribute_id');
$attr = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute')->load($attrID);
$attr->setStoreLabels(array(1 => $key))->save();
It add's it fine, it even adds the option for me, but I can't seem to set that option as default (to add more later) and I can't make it searchable.
I really hope someone can help.
Thanks
Update:
Ok i've managed to get it adding the default (still not searchable etc) using this code.
$key = "Brand";
$name = "brand";
$specific = "Cola";
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', $name, array(
'type' => 'int',
'input' => 'select',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => $key,
'class' => '',
'source' => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_table',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => true,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => true,
'filterable' => true,
'comparable' => true,
'visible' => true,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => true,
'unique' => false,
'apply_to' => '',
'is_configurable' => false,
'option' => array(
'value' => array(
$this->getAttributeName($specific) => array($specific)
)
)
));
$installer->endSetup();
$attrID = $installer->getAttribute('catalog_product', $name,'attribute_id');
$attr = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute')->load($attrID);
$attr->setStoreLabels(array(1 => $key));
$attr->setDefaultValue($attr->getSource()->getOptionId($this->getAttributeName($specific)));
$attr->save();
however when i go to add a new option using this code where $specific = "Pepsi";
$model = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute');
$option = array();
$option['attribute_id'] = $attr;
$option['value'][$this->getAttributeName($specific)][1] = $specific;
$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$setup->addAttributeOption($option);
I get the error: "Default option value is not defined"
Did you have tried with 'is_searchable' => true instead of 'searchable' => true?
Look in to catalaog_eav_attribute. There is a column 'is_searchable' which type is smallint
Try this:
'is_searchable' => 1,
Referring to the error:
"Default option value is not defined"
When you add the option: ---------------------------------------> /
$option['value'][$this->getAttributeName($specific)][1] = $specific;
Here the [0] is the option's "default admin value" and [1] is the "default store value".
$option['value'][$this->getAttributeName($specific)][0] = $specific;
Your code is not making $specific the default option, but setting $specific the defaults store's value.
How can I set the order of an added category attribute following this installation script
<?php
$installer = $this;
echo "installing";
$installer->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'title_recipe', array(
'group' => 'General Information',
'input' => 'text',
'order' => '999',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Title Recipe',
'backend' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
));
$this->endSetup();
$this->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'title_recipe', array(
'group' => 'General Information',
'input' => 'text',
'position' => 999,
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Title Recipe',
'backend' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
));
I'm following this tutorial: http://www.atwix.com/magento/add-category-attribute/
All is working well, attributes are added to categories, but without the WYSIWYG button below the field. WYSIWYG is enabled in System > Config > Content Management.
$this->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'custom_att', array(
'group' => 'General',
'input' => 'textarea',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'My attribute',
'backend' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'wysiwyg_enabled' => true,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'is_html_allowed_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));
$this->endSetup();
Whatever I try, WYSIWYG is not enabled for my attributes. Can anyone help? Or maybe there is a workaround for this?
EDIT: I searched other posts but all say that this code should add the WYSIWYG:
'wysiwyg_enabled' => true,
but it doesn't.
Tried to accomplish same task today and searching through magento code managed to complete my task with this code:
$productEntityTypeId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('catalog_product');
$installer->addAttribute($productEntityTypeId, 'some_text', array(
'group' => 'General',
'input' => 'textarea',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Some Text',
'backend' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));
$installer->updateAttribute($productEntityTypeId, 'some_text', 'is_wysiwyg_enabled', 1);
$installer->updateAttribute($productEntityTypeId, 'some_text', 'is_html_allowed_on_front', 1);
This works:
$installer->updateAttribute('catalog_category', 'certifications', 'is_wysiwyg_enabled', 1);
$installer->updateAttribute('catalog_category', 'certifications', 'is_html_allowed_on_front', 1);
This worked for me:
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'short_description', array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Short Description',
'input' => 'textarea',
'default' => '',
'sort_order' => 1,
'required' => false,
'wysiwyg_enabled' => true,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'is_html_allowed_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'group' => 'General Information',
));
Notice the following three entries:
'wysiwyg_enabled' => true,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'is_html_allowed_on_front' => true,
Using Magento CE 1.9.2.0.
Create php file in magento root directory and paste below code and run it from browser:-
ini_set('display_errors',0);

I need a dropdown attribute in category. I tried to do this in installer:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$entityTypeId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('catalog_category');
$attributeSetId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
$attributeGroupId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId);
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'priority', array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Priority2',
'input' => 'select',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'option' => array(
'value' => array(
0 => array(''),
1 => array('normal'),
2 => array('grouping'),
3 => array('highlighted'),
4 => array('trendy'),
),
),
'default' => array(0),
));
$installer->addAttributeToGroup(
$entityTypeId, $attributeSetId, $attributeGroupId, 'priority', '11'
);
$attributeId = $installer->getAttributeId($entityTypeId, 'priority');
$installer->run("
INSERT INTO `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity_int')}`
(`entity_type_id`, `attribute_id`, `entity_id`, `value`)
SELECT '{$entityTypeId}', '{$attributeId}', `entity_id`, '1'
FROM `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity')}`;
");
Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->load(1)
->setImportedCatId(0)
->setInitialSetupFlag(true)
->save();
Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->load(2)
->setImportedCatId(0)
->setInitialSetupFlag(true)
->save();
$installer->endSetup();
but it doesn't work. Nothing shows up in Catalog->categories->Manage Categories. I can create only textfield attribute like this:
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'priority', array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Priority2',
'input' => 'text',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'default' => '',
));
Do you have any ideas?
Thx for help.
EDIT.
I also tied SQL query like this:
INSERT INTO eav_attribute (entity_type_id, attribute_code, attribute_model, backend_model, backend_type, backend_table, frontend_model, frontend_input, frontend_label, frontend_class, source_model, is_required, is_user_defined, default_value, is_unique, note) VALUES
(9, 'priority', NULL, 'NULL', 'int', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'select', 'Priority', NULL, 'eav/entity_attribute_source_table', 1, 0, 0, 0, '');
INSERT INTO eav_attribute_option (option_id,attribute_id,sort_order) VALUES
(1500,282,0),
(1501,282,1),
(1502,282,2),
(1503,282,3),
(1504,282,4);
INSERT INTO eav_attribute_option_value (value_id,option_id,store_id,value) VALUES
(201,1500,0,''),
(202,1501,0,'normal'),
(203,1502,0,'grouping'),
(204,1503,0,'highlighted'),
(205,1504,0,'trendy');
INSERT INTO eav_entity_attribute (entity_type_id, attribute_set_id, attribute_group_id, attribute_id, sort_order) VALUES
(9, 12, 7, (SELECT atribute_id FROM eav_attribute WHERE attribute_code='priority'), 2);
It's possible using module installer:
$installer->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::ENTITY, 'myattribute', array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'My attribute',
'source' => 'module/category_attribute_myattribute',
'backend' => 'module/category_attribute_backend_myattribute',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'input' => 'select',
'visible' => true,
'required' => true,
'user_defined' => false,
'used_in_product_listing' => false,
'group' => 'Group name',
'default' => Module_Catalog_Model_Category_Attribute_Myattribute::DEFAULT_Groupname,
));
Hope it helps someone ;)

http://www.pearlbells.co.uk/how-to-add-custom-dropdown-attribute-to-magento-category-section/
<?php
$this->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::ENTITY, 'custom_dropdown', array(
'group' => 'General Information',
'input' => 'select',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Custom Dropdown',
'backend' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'source' => 'customfeaturedattribute/source_custom',
));
$this->endSetup();
And in the model class add the options.
public function getAllOptions()
{
$options = array(
1 => 'One',
2 => 'Two',
3 => 'Three'
);
return $options;
}
I want to add a new attribute to all products. I have done it with a install script trough
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute('catalog_product','test2',array(
'label' => 'test2',
'type' => 'varchar',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'required' => 0
));
But how can I add values to this attribute by
$entityTypeId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('catalog_product');
$attributeSetId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
$attributeGroupId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId);
$installer->addAttributeGroup($entityTypeId, 'Default', 'test2', 0);
$installer->endSetup();
This is one of the sample code which I had used to create my own custom Product Attribute:-
$installer = $this;
/* #var $installer Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup */
$installer->startSetup();
$attrCode = 'test2';
$attrGroupName = 'Test Group';
$attrLabel = 'Test 2';
$attrNote = 'Test Note';
$objCatalogEavSetup = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/eav_mysql4_setup', 'core_setup');
$attrIdTest = $objCatalogEavSetup->getAttributeId(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, $attrCode);
if ($attrIdTest === false) {
$objCatalogEavSetup->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, $attrCode, array(
'group' => $attrGroupName,
'sort_order' => 7,
'type' => 'varchar',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => $attrLabel,
'note' => $attrNote,
'input' => 'text',
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => true,
'default' => '0',
'visible_on_front' => false,
'unique' => false,
'is_configurable' => false,
'used_for_promo_rules' => true
));
}
$installer->endSetup();
This is used with the references of these two articles:-
Magento Wiki: Installing Custom Attributes with Your Module
Mukesh Chapagain Blog: Magento Adding attribute from MySQL setup file
Also, you will find that I have used the array key "group" to mention the Attribute Group Name, where this new custom Attribute will reside. The irony is that mentioning of this key, in the above code sample, automatically creates this Attribute in every Attribute Set found in this Magento.
So you do not need to call any method (like "addAttributeToSet()") to add this Attribute to all Attribute Sets.
Hope it helps.
Run this script in your magento root directory.(Change Configuration you need)
<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage::getModel('core/store')->load(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID));
$installer = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'snum', array(
'label' => 'Serial No',
'type' => 'int',
'input' => 'text',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'searchable' => false,
'filterable' => false,
'comparable' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => false,
'unique' => false
));
$installer->endSetup();
?>
For Remove Product Attribute
<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage::getModel('core/store')->load(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID));
$installer = new Mage_Sales_Model_Mysql4_Setup;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->removeAttribute('catalog_product', 'snum');
$installer->endSetup();
?>
you can add custom attribute to the magento backend as shown.If you create the product attribute as module it is easy to move from one database to another.
?php
$this->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute(catalog_product, 'featured_product', array(
'group' => 'General',
'input' => 'select',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Featured Product',
'backend' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'source' => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean',
'sort_order' => 8,
));
$this->endSetup();
please refer my tutorial for step by step explanation and file structure.
