I want to create a pictured menu of articles categories, but I can't figure out how to add image field to categories.
What I need is:
custom file field for category
ability to handle (change size, add some text, etc...)
easily get in view to display
remove it with category
Any ideas how to do that?
There's an image field already available in standard the category edit form. Look in the options slider.

I have a task here to add extra information in the existing attributes' label as screenshot displays.
The attributes I am going to modify are Name, Status, Visibility, Price and Special Price. So first of all, I would like to know if this is doable?
If yes, I would like to know a bit more about how to do it. I tried to search on Google and SO but can't find anything related.
I've done some extensions and some of them are adding custom attributes to product using install script. But I have no idea how to just add extra html to existing attributes' label.
Go to Catalog > Manage Attributes > Select the Attribute , you can edit exisitng Attribute label as below image
I have a site where I added some custom attributes and displayed in the frontend. Now I want add a description of the attributes and display it in the frontend in a tooltip or whatever.
I have checked this reference
Add custom property to magento Attributes and display it on the front end on stackoverflow. But its not clear in which particular page I have to use it. I don't want to use any plugin. Please refer me a solution with custom code.
When you Add a Custom Attribute to the products, it will stored in to the Magento system as EAV attribute. So you must look into the EAV structure. When you look into the table "eav_attribute" you can understand how the attributes are stored.
So, if you want to Add and manage the Tooltip Description for the Attributes, You must add one more column to the "eav_attribute" table. for this you must create a custom module to override the Magento core eav functionalities. By following the above link you can create the tooltip Description text for the attributes.
Im wanting to add the Brand name (or designer name in this case which i have made a new attribute for) just above the product description in the Category view (grid) but cant figure it out.
As its Magento Go i have no access to the code, other than XML updates for the category itself.
Ive looked everywhere and would value any help.
Thanks
If you are cant get to the template phtml codes, you can put it on by admin.
Open catalog / attributes / manage attributes, find your attribute and in the properties set to
Visible on Product View Page on Front-end
Used in Product Listing
But it will not be on position you want.
You can edit CSS for the template and set an absolute position for your attribute.
Next way is to add in the admin in category XML layout, but this you need to do for each category. (Custom Layout Update)
I have a large store with many products showing in multiple categories.
Inside each of these categories the product has a different use, so I would like to show a different image.
I would use a bundle / grouped product however the default simple product has custom options.
Any PHP or set up suggestions would be appreciated.
A clean implementation would be to add a new attribute to the media/gallery functionality (akin to label/sort-order).
Then you would add a drop-down category selector to the grid view on the "Manage Product > Edit Product > Images" tab.
Then from there, you could extend the standard collection for category/search to select your image with corresponding category ID (instead of the default selected thumbnail).
But you certainly are not going to find a 1-liner to pull this off (cleanly).
I have products that has custom options like size, color etc. All are unique to the products and not shared by attributes. How can i add these filters on the product listing pages. I hope i write my question clearly. Please let me know if you want more information. Thanks for your help.
In Magento, two properties will appear as layered navigation filters without you having to do anything: Price and Categories
Its better to store them as attributes and make them filterable , then it will be displayed in the layered navigation.
You can see here how layered navigation works.
And if you want to know how to include this layered navigation widget in any of the page, read this tutorial
