How get new installed product attribute in magento (using helper) on category pages


I've installed new product attribute using my module script - mysql4-install-1.0.0.php:

<?php
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$setup = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup('core_setup');
//Setup Product Attribute
$setup->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'product_display_price', array(
'group'             => 'Prices',
'label'             => 'Webdevelop Extensions - Display Price',
'type'              => 'int',
'input'             => 'select',
'backend'           => '',
'frontend'          => '',
'source'            => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean',
'global'            => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible'           => true,
'required'          => false,
'user_defined'      => false,
'searchable'        => false,
'filterable'        => false,
'comparable'        => false,
'visible_on_front'  => false,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => false,
'unique'            => false,
 ));
$installer->endSetup();

This attribute ('product_display_price') I can take on product pages(using var_dump(getProductAttributeValueDisplayPrice()) on my rewrite block), but when I take it on category pages I get null. I use helper file (Data.php):

public function getProductAttributeValueDisplayPrice()
{
    $currentProduct = Mage::registry('current_product');
    if ($currentProduct) {
        $product_id = $currentProduct->getId();
        $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
            ->load($product_id);
        $attribute = $product->getData('product_display_price');
        return $attribute;
    }else null;
}

Solution

  • In my helper file - Data.php I added two function which set and get product

    protected $_currentProduct = '';
    
    public function setCurrentProduct($label)
    {
        $this->_currentProduct = $label;
        return $this;
    }
    
    public function getCurrentProduct()
    {
        return $this->_currentProduct;
    }
    

    In my block file I set product

    $helper->setCurrentProduct($this->getProduct());
    

    And I maked chenge in my helper function getProductAttributeValueDisplayPrice() - $currentProduct = $this->getCurrentProduct();

    public function getProductAttributeValueDisplayPrice()
    {
        $currentProduct = $this->getCurrentProduct();
        if ($currentProduct) {
            $product_id = $currentProduct->getId();
            $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
                ->load($product_id);
            $attribute = $product->getData('product_display_price');
            return $attribute;
        }else null;
    }
    

    Everything works fine.
