magento get custom attribute label - magento

Question

I've a problem, I want to show the label of a custom attribute in the product page.
I explain me better, starting from this link because is what I want to do:
http://www.customy.com/blog/how-to-display-video-on-magento-product-page/
I want a video product in the sidebar of the product page, so I create a new custompage.phtml and i put this in the sidebar from catalog.xml, in my custompage.phtml I put this code to have the custom label:
getResource()->getAttribute('video')->getStoreLabel();?>
but I have this error:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function getResource() on a non-object in ..path//"
I have try different code but still have this problem.
I think that I forget to put something in my .phtml but I'm new of Magento and I don't know what!
Thank in advance!

Answer 1

Since $_product didn't work then you'll need to load the object before attempting to access the attribute. Try this:
$product_id = Mage::registry('current_product')->getId();
$_product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product_id);
echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('video')->getStoreLabel();

If you don't have access to the product model, I wrote a small query to get it from DB. This could be done better, but should be a decent starting point for your class:
protected $_dbConn;
public function __construct()
{
$this->_dbConn = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');
}
public function getAttributeLabel($code)
{
$query = "
SELECT b.value
FROM eav_attribute a
JOIN eav_attribute_label b
ON a.attribute_id = b.attribute_id
WHERE a.attribute_code = '".$code."'";
return $this->_dbConn->fetchOne($query);
}
