I am trying to add a custom attribute field to the sales_flat_order table in the database for Magento 1.8+. Do I need to create a New Admin theme?
<?php
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute("order", "my_custom_input_field", array("type"=>"varchar"));
$installer->addAttribute("quote", "my_custom_input_field", array("type"=>"varchar"));
$installer->endSetup();
Try this:
$installer->addAttribute(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::ENTITY, 'THIS_IS_THE_CODE', array(
'group' => 'General',
'type' => 'varchar',
'default' => '0',
'input' => 'text',
'label' => 'My pretty pretty label',
'source' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'user_defined' => false
));
$installer->addAttribute(Mage_Sales_Model_Quote::ENTITY, 'THIS_IS_THE_CODE', array(
'group' => 'General',
'type' => 'varchar',
'default' => '0',
'input' => 'text',
'label' => 'My pretty pretty label',
'source' => '',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'user_defined' => false
));
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.
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,

I want to add one attribute to sales/order, that is the Mage_Sales_Model_Order, to store some extra data.
I found the resource of sales/order uses normal table. And when I save an order, it only saves the fields that match the columns in the table.
What is the right way to add this attribute?
I would recommend a hybrid of a few of the answers below. You definitly want to put this code in a install script via config xml but your going to want to use the Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup as your setup class if you want to leverage the addAttribute function. So your config xml will look something like this...
<config>
...
<resources>
<modulename_setup>
<setup>
<module>Your_Module</module>
<class>Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup</class>
</setup>
</modulename_setup>
</resources>
...
</config>
and your install script should look something like this
$installer = $this;
/* #var $installer Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup */
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('sales_order', 'attributename', array(
'group' => 'General',
'label' => 'Label frontend',
'note' => '',
'type' => 'string', //backend_type
'input' => 'text', //frontend_input
'frontend_class' => '',
'source' => '',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_WEBSITE,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'apply_to' => 'simple',
'is_configurable' => false,
'used_in_product_listing' => false,
'sort_order' => 5,
));
$installer->endSetup();
Keep in mind this is untested code, and you might need to tweak some of the attribute options to get it to function the way you need it to.
To add new attribute on order you use this code, but just one time. Get any file and put the code there, execute one time and can remove the code.
$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$setup->addAttribute('sales_order', 'attributename', array(
'group' => 'General',
'label' => 'Label frontend',
'note' => '',
'type' => 'string', //backend_type
'input' => 'text', //frontend_input
'frontend_class' => '',
'source' => '',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_WEBSITE,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'apply_to' => 'simple',
'is_configurable' => false,
'used_in_product_listing' => false,
'sort_order' => 5,
));
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();

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();
