Get attributes and its values using single Collection in Magento? - magento

How to get attributes and its values using single Collection in Magento?
Right now i am using below
$attributesInfo = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_collection')
->setEntityTypeFilter(4)
->addFieldToFilter('frontend_input','multiselect')
->addSetInfo()
->getData();
to get attribute and below code to get attribute value
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_collection')
->setEntityTypeFilter($product->getResource()->getTypeId())
->addFieldToFilter('attribute_code', $attributeName);
My attributes code out put is like below
Color :
Black
Blue
Green
Brand :
Hp
Dell
Apple
Size :
12
14
16
Thanks,

How about this:
$attributes = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')
->getEntityType(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY)
->getAttributeCollection()
->addFieldToFilter('source_model', array('notnull' => true))
->addSetInfo();
foreach ($attributes as $attribute)
{
echo "{$attribute->getFrontendLabel()}:\n";
foreach ($attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions() as $option)
{
echo " {$option['label']}\n";
}
echo "\n";
}
By using the eav/config and eav/entity_type chances are you will be reusing an already loaded collection, which of course is more efficient then reloading the same data in new collections.
EDIT: Updated the answer to include the attribute collection filter suggested by Aleksandr Ryabov.

how to assign random product positions in Magento category?

I have the following issue in Magento 1.9: there are categories with a lot of products in them and the default sort order is by position and all product position in Magento backend is 1. So what happens is that when you open a category on the frontend a lot of similar products show first followed by another set of similar type of products. I want to randomize their positions somehow (by a script or anything else) so that different kind of products show mixed together.
For example I have categories wine,
champagne and whisky and products
in them and I also have category birthday products that includes products from these categories. And when the category is opened on the frontend first a lot of whisky products
are shown then a lot of wine ... etc I want them mixed. Thanks in advance for
any help!
You can do as below :
First get the category :
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->setStoreId(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID)
->load($categoryId);
Then its product positions :
$products = $category->getProductsPosition();
This will be an array organized like this :
product_id_1 => position_1
product_id_1 => position_2
So foreach one of those products just set a random position (here between 0 and 9999) :
foreach($products as $productId => $position ){
$products[$productId] = '' . rand(0,9999);
}
And finally save :
$category->setPostedProducts($products);
$category->save();
Here is below a script that you could put in /shell magento directory :
<?php
require_once './abstract.php';
class RandomCategoryOrder extends Mage_Shell_Abstract {
private $_categoryId = 188;
public function run(){
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->setStoreId(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID)
->load($this->_categoryId);
$products = $category->getProductsPosition();
foreach($products as $productId => $position ){
$products[$productId] = '' . rand(0,9999);
}
$category->setPostedProducts($products);
try{
$category->save();
}catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}
}
}
$randowCategoryOrder = new RandomCategoryOrder();
$randowCategoryOrder->run();

Remove attribute value from product

We have attributes with a default value, even if the attribute is not in the products attribute set, the default value for these products are shown in layered navigation.
Example
My keyboards category gets Mouse attributes shown in layered navigation with the default attribute value. So all my keyboards get "Right handed".
How can i remove the attribute value for these products ?
Maybe something like this:
$catid = 'your cat. id';
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$category->load($catid);
$prodCollection = $category->getProductCollection();
foreach ($prodCollection as $product) {
$prdIds[] = $product->getId(); ///Store all the product id in $prdIds array
}
foreach($prdIds as $product){
$attributeCode = "your attribute code";
$obj = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$_product = $obj->load($product);
$_product->setData($attributeCode, "")
->getResource()
->saveAttribute($_product, $attributeCode);
echo $_product->getName() . ' is succesfully corrected' . '<BR>'; ;
}
Please let me know if this helps you out.

Magento - Get product name for all languages

When reading all magento products for a export extension I've encountered a problem:
when trying to get the name of a product by using getName() on the loaded model you only get the active language name or if that is not set the default name of the product. But I need to get all product names for default, english, german, french, etc.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem or an idea how to solve it?
$model = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$collection = $model->getCollection();
foreach ($collection as $product) {
$id = $product->getId();
$model->load($id);
$name = $model->getName(); // gives you only the active language name / default name
}
Since you also want the default store, I'm only aware of one working way:
$aStoreHash = Mage::getModel('core/store')
->getCollection()
->setLoadDefault(true)
->toOptionHash();
$aName = array();
foreach ($aStoreHash as $iStoreId => $sStoreName) {
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($iStoreId);
$oCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
->getCollection()
// Uncomment next line for testing if you have thousands of products
// ->addFieldToFilter('entity_id', array('from' => 1, 'to' => 5))
->addAttributeToSelect('name');
foreach ($oCollection as $oProduct) {
$aName[$oProduct->getId()][$iStoreId] = $oProduct->getName();
}
}
var_dump($aName);
If you don't need the default store, you could drop Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($iStoreId); and use ->addStoreFilter($iStoreId) on the collection instead.

How to get all active attributes of products in Magento?

I am working in a new "Filter by Product" module in Magento, i have a situation where i should retrieve all attributes and their values. I Googled this and found the below code
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$attributes = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_collection')
->setEntityTypeFilter($product->getResource()->getTypeId())
->load();
// ->addFieldToFilter('attribute_code', 'color')
$attribute = $attributes->getFirstItem()->setEntity($product->getResource());
/* #var $attribute Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute */
$attr = $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true);
foreach ($attr as $att) {
echo " Label : ".$att['label']." Value : ".$att['value']."";
}
but this retrieves only the label and value of last attribute from list of all available attributes.
how to i get all the attributes? what am i doing wrong in this code?
Thanks,
Balan
Try this:
$attributes = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')
->getEntityType(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY)->getAttributeCollection();
// Localize attribute label (if you need it)
$attributes->addStoreLabel(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());
// Loop over all attributes
foreach ($attributes as $attr) {
/* #var $attr Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute */
// get the store label value
$label = $attr->getStoreLabel() ? $attr->getStoreLabel() : $attr->getFrontendLabel();
echo "Attribute: {$label}\n";
// If it is an attribute with predefined values
if ($attr->usesSource()) {
// Get all option values ans labels
$options = $attr->getSource()->getAllOptions();
// Output all option labels and values
foreach ($options as $option)
{
echo " {$option['label']} (Value {$option['value']})\n";
}
}
else
{
// Just for clarification of the debug code
echo " No select or multiselect attribute\n";
}
}
This is the first solution:
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
foreach($this->products as $product) {
$prod = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product->getId());
}
If you are using using the data from outside magento, you can use a class I made:
http://blog.alexparadise.com/magento-dbeav-class/
It's beta but that should work in your case.
Or get the concept of the EAV table... and make your own SQL query.

Magento - Query for Product Options

I want to write a controller that finds the different options for a given product (eg. Large, Medium, Small, Red, Blue etc...).
Can anyone show me the code I would write into my controller?
Additional details
I'm getting closer, but I still can't figure it out. Here's the code I wrote in my controller
$db = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
print_r($db->getOptions()); // returns an empty array
echo $db->getHasOptions(); // echos 1
But when I do the print_r() on the second line, the getOptions returns an empty array. The third line echo's the value 1, which means there SHOULD BE options.
Additional Details
I tried clockworkgeek's solution of $db->getProductOptions(), that returned nothing. I tried $db->getProductOptionsCollection(), and got this output
Array
(
[totalRecords] => 0
[items] => Array
(
)
)
What's wrong with my code such that it is not returning the allowable product options?
Instead of getOptions() please try getCustomOptions() or getProductOptionsCollection() or getProductOptionsCollection()->load().
Edit
I tried this on a product I knew had options.
<?php
require 'app/Mage.php';
Mage::app();
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
foreach ($product->getProductOptions() as $option) {
print_r($option->debug());
}
And got something like this:
Array
(
[option_id] => 37
[product_id] => 8
[type] => multidate
[is_require] => 1
[sku] =>
[image_size_x] => 0
[image_size_y] => 0
[sort_order] => 1
[default_title] => Dates
[title] => Dates
)
However, getOptions() also worked for me so I don't know what's going on.
Post-edit
The confusion was one of semantics. A simple product can have "custom options", they allow creation of a few form fields which are recorded as part of the order. A configurable product uses "associated products" to create a form with conditional fields.
For example you might be selling socks that are large-green, small-green or large-blue - but no small-blue ones. With a simple product you would have a field for large/small and a field for blue/green - which allows the customer to select small-blue and that is wrong.
So to find the component parts of a configurable you might do something like this:
if ($product->isConfigurable()) {
$configurable = $product->getTypeInstance();
$childProducts = $product->getUsedProducts($product);
foreach ($childProducts as $child) {
// You have a $child now
}
}
To find the equivalent of getOptions() you need this:
if ($product->isConfigurable()) {
$configurable = $product->getTypeInstance();
$attributes = $configurable->getConfigurableAttributes($product);
// $attributes is a Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Product_Type_Configurable_Attribute_Collection
foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
// $attribute is a Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type_Configurable_Attribute
print $attribute->getLabel();
}
}
Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type_Configurable_Attribute doesn't have much to reveal about itself.
The above solution is perfect and I solved my problem using it. I was
trying to display the colors on the list. Here is my solution
if ($_product->isConfigurable()) {
$configurable = $_product->getTypeInstance();
$childProducts = $configurable->getUsedProducts($_product);
foreach ($childProducts as $child) {
$sku = $child->getSku();
$skuarr = explode('-',$sku);
$col = trim($skuarr[1]);
?>
<span class="colorbar" style="background:<?php echo $col?>;" title="<?php echo $col?>"> </span>
}
}
