Attributes in product.tpl

English forums
1

Hello,
Great product. I am interested in listing the attributes of a product, on the category page.

So, for instance, when someone clicks on a category, there are a list of products. On that page, I have created some attributes, which I would like to display on this page.

Anyone know the best way to do this?

Thanks,
Joe

I see that in the admin tab, you can check a box to load attributes, which is great. However, the “filterattributes” object is deeply nested, not sure of the best way to access the actual attribute values from product.tpl. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi JCL,

the attribute filter is already built in, will show up on the category page and simple needs to be activated.

Best to explain with an example:

  • go to admin -> administer products -> attributes
  • if youre still using demodata, go to the attribute “colors”, some products (clocks) shall already be assigned here
  • go to tab “Categories” and assign a category.

Now, open the Category “Clocks” in the front end. A popup menu with the available attributes shall appear now straight beneath the category picture.

Regards
