Getting product attribute in downloadable controller in Magento

I am trying to get the product attribute in my downloadable controller. I am working on an ebook store. I have created a custom module sp. I need the product attribute to watermark my ebooks.

The controller I am working on is Mage/Downloadable/controllers/DownloadController.php

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Depends totally in which action you are.

    If you have a look at the linkAction you can see how they obtain the product:

    $id = $this->getRequest()->getParam('id', 0);
$linkPurchasedItem = Mage::getModel('downloadable/link_purchased_item')->load($id, 'link_hash');
[...]
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($linkPurchasedItem->getProductId());

    Now the product is loaded in the $product variable. You can get product attributes as usual by $product->getData('my_custom_attribute') or $product->getMyCustomAttribute.
