There are different ways to retrieve attribute values in Magento,
$options=$_product->getAttributeText('some_attribute')
$options=$_product->getResource()->getAttribute('some_attribute')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product)
$options=$_product->getSomeAttribute()
How different are the above methods and which is the proper way to retrieve attribute value?
echo $_product->getSomeAttribute()
would get the value with attribute as a text value or textarea value, etc..
echo $_product->getAttributeText('some_attribute')
would get an array of all options in a Drop Down or Multiple Select attribute type.
$attributes = $_product->getAttributes();
$someAttr = $attributes['some_attribute']->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);
would get you the value of any type of attribute, even the value from Drop Down or Multiple Select attribute types.
With getAttributetext you'll get the attribute directly on array of attributes.
When you are using get methods, you'll geting the product by the "right" way, becouse get and set can gage the date respecting the magento rules.
And using the getFrontend you'll geting this directly from database.
There is no right way to do this, but there is low cost solution, i think using get method and getAttributeText is the best way.

I created a parameter [GroupID] that is used to query several datasets in my SSRS report. It is using the field [GroupID] from my GroupList_Rolling12 dataset. An example of [GroupID] is 77610N. When 77610N is selected, all of my datasets are correctly 'filtering' for this [GroupID].
I now need to create a text box that returns the [GroupName] of [GroupID]. In other words, when 77610N is selected from my GroupID parameter, I want the [GroupName] that is associated with the selected GroupID parameter to display.
I'm still very new to SSRS and cannot figure this out. I tried creating the expression =First(Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12") but that did not work since it simply returns the first value from the query.
I also tried =First(Parameters!GroupID.Value(0)) but this also did not work
I also tried this expression =Lookup(Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12")
)
Can you please help?
You can reference the parameter label directly like this
=Parameters!GroupID.Label
There is no need to put the index on the end (=Parameters!GroupID.Label(0)) unless your parameter is multi-value, in which case it would select the first selected entry.
I am trying to put in a variable a value that the user has to introduce from a popup.
I have seen the function POPUP_GET_VALUES can be the adiente, but in the parameters that the function requires I see that there is a table to put the value into a field. As it is a unique value, I would like to put it within a single variable previously defined, in order to also be able to establish limits for the user to enter the value, since it has to be a percentage.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can use FM POPUP_TO_GET_ONE_VALUE and specify texts you want. But you should then check the format of input. For POPUP_GET_VALUES you need a table and field to reference, it will check the format for you.
I have a custom page type with two fields, StateName and StateCode. I would like it so that when a value is selected in either of these fields, the other field’s value changes to match.
So for example, if I select “Alabama” in the StateName field, the value of the StateCode field would automatically change to “AL.” Or if I select “CO” in the StateCode field, the StateName field would automatically change to “Colorado,” etc. Is this possible?
(I have to keep these as two separate fields, because I need to display either the state name or the state code on the front-end depending on context. Therefore, I can’t use a single field with options like AL;Alabama because then the field only returns the value AL and I have no way of getting the display name Alabama).
I know Kentico has options for setting “dependent” fields, but that only appears to determine visibility – e.g. only display Field B if I select a particular value in Field A. I can’t find a way to actually change the selected value in one field based on the selected value in another field.
Two control solution seems some kind of an overkill here. You can use StateInfoProvider to get what you want.
StateInfo state = StateInfoProvider.GetStateInfo("Alabama")
The other way would be to use a simple drop down control and use
query like that :
select stateCode + '|'+ StateDisplayName, StateDisplayName from cms_State
to get get code and display name as value separated by |
I have a grid where the user can select records via checkbox in front of every record. Now I have a requirement to sort the records based on their selection, so that all selected records should be placed top, followed by the not selected ones.
Is there any standard function to achieve this? As an alternative I thought of saving the selection state as an attribute on every record and sort based on the attribute.
The code for the column is:
gridRealmDt.setSelectionType(SelectionStyle.SIMPLE);
gridRealmDt.setSelectionAppearance(SelectionAppearance.CHECKBOX);
I try to describe the code I use as the affected code is deeply nested in our own framework classes.
gridRealmDt is a subclass of smartgwt ListGrid. In my Dialog a create an instance of the grid which creates an instance of a database bound datasource. When the dialog is loaded the records are fetched from the database and after that a registered an dataArrivedHandler where I select the records which match records from another table.
I tried to place the selection attribute in an extra field and use that for sortig before my other sort criteria, but this does not work. Here is the code for the field I am using.
ListGridField txtSelected = new ListGridField(SELECTED, "");
txtSelected.setHidden(true);
txtSelected.setSortByDisplayField(true);
txtSelected.setCanSortClientOnly(true);
When I do not set the canSortClientOnly property the order by is sent to my database resulting in an error, as the table does not contain that field, so I set the property. Now I get following error
Removing field from the sort Specifier array because it specifies canSort Client Only: true and all data is not yet client-side.
I also tried to use a sortNormilizer on the Name field which is my main sort criteria, but the normalizer is called before the selection value is set to the record.
record.setAttribute(CARealmDS.SELECTED,selected ? "a" : "b");
I also cannnot find a way to call the normalizer when selection changes.
Currently we are using Smart GWT Version 6.0p.
I don't think there is any standard function. Just use grid store update. Place checked items first.
I have this here:
Dim query = FromTableRows.Select(Function(Row) Row.Item(_SqlSyntaxChecker.SelectedFields(0)))
Row is a normal DataRow, so I can get the field value of the rows like this: Row.Item(0), Row.Item(1), etc.
SelectedFields contains the field names of the FromTableRows.
Now, I would like to select all the fields in the SelectedFields list, while the number of the selected fields can vary.
Is this possible? How should I modify the code?
Thanks.
You can simply make use of the ItemArray property, if I understand your question correctly.
FromTableRows.Select(Function(Row) Row.ItemArray)
The ItemArray property is an object array that contains the elements found in the DataRow. You will, of course, lose any mapping via this method from columns to elements, but it sounds like that's what you want.
