How to add new custom category attribute in Magento

Sometimes you need to extend functionality of Magento categories. There is several ways to do that, I will show you how it can be done.
You can do that by modifying and adding data into some of tables directly, but it can be waste of time if you don’t know what you are doing.
This post will describe how you can add new custom category attribute in your Magento store via sql_setup script.

MySQL setup script will look something like this, it depends on your needs and how you would like to configure your new attribute:

$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
 
$entityTypeId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('catalog_category');
$attributeSetId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
$attributeGroupId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId);
 
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'new_cat_attrb', array(
'type' => 'int',
'label' => 'New Category Attribute',
'input' => 'text',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'default' => 0
));
 
$installer->addAttributeToGroup(
$entityTypeId,
$attributeSetId,
$attributeGroupId,
'new_cat_attrb',
'11' //last Magento's attribute position in General tab is 10
);
 
$attributeId = $installer->getAttributeId($entityTypeId, 'new_cat_attrb');
 
$installer->run("
INSERT INTO `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity_int')}`
(`entity_type_id`, `attribute_id`, `entity_id`, `value`)
SELECT '{$entityTypeId}', '{$attributeId}', `entity_id`, '1'
FROM `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity')}`;
");
 
//this will set data of your custom attribute for root category
Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->load(1)
->setImportedCatId(0)
->setInitialSetupFlag(true)
->save();
 
//this will set data of your custom attribute for default category
Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->load(2)
->setImportedCatId(0)
->setInitialSetupFlag(true)
->save();
 
$installer->endSetup();

In your config.xml file of your module you will need to add this part in order to install correctly your new category attribute:

<resources>
<new_attribute_csv_setup>
<setup>
<module>New_Attribute</module>
<class>Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup</class>
</setup>
<connection>
<use>core_setup</use>
</connection>
</new_attribute_setup>
<new_attribute_setup_write>
<connection>
<use>core_write</use>
</connection>
</new_attribute_setup_write>
<new_attribute_setup_read>
<connection>
<use>core_read</use>
</connection>
</new_attribute_setup_read>
</resources>

Pay attention on class tag here, class must be: “Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup”.

If you did this correctly, you will get something like this:

Enjoy coding!

  13. If you just want to add an attribute to a category tab you don’t have to use a module (testet in 1.7.0.2). Paste the following code (adapt it to your needs… look at Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Setup at line 87+ for reference) at the beginning of any .phtml file and call it once. (I used catalog/category/view.phtml so the code gets executed when I view a category in the frontend, but the choice is really up to you… Delete the code afterwards)

    $setup = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/resource_setup’, ‘core/resource’);
    $setup->startSetup();

    $setup->addAttribute(“catalog_category”, “default_sort_dir”, array(

    ‘type’ => ‘varchar’,
    ‘label’ => ‘Default Product Listing Sort Direction’,
    ‘input’ => ‘select’,
    ‘source’ => ‘catalog/category_attribute_source_sortdir’,
    ‘required’ => false,
    ‘sort_order’ => 51,
    ‘global’ => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
    ‘group’ => ‘Display Settings’
    ));
    $setup->endSetup();

$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();

    Than .. it worked but never could i get any combo with the posted to work. and if you want to access it you can do this

    if ($category instanceof Mage_Catalog_Model_Category) {
            $url = $category->getData('highlight_cat');
        } else {
            $url = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category->getId())
                ->getData('highlight_cat');
        }

    I’m only saying what it took to get a stable set of file to upload to a 1.7.2 version of magneto CE not that I warranty anything anyone does of the feedback I’m providing

$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'priority', array(

  25. Hy,

    To create a new attribute for a product you could use the following snippet inside your install script

    $this->startSetup();

$this->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'id_of_attribute', array(
    'group'                    => 'General',
    'type'                     => 'int',
    'input'                    => 'select',
    'label'                    => 'Attribute_Label',
    'global'                   => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL, // or other scope
    'visible'                  => 1,
    'required'                 => 0,
    'visible_on_front'         => 0,
    'is_html_allowed_on_front' => 0,
    'is_configurable'          => 0,
    'source'                   => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean', //select the appropriate source
    'searchable'               => 0,
    'filterable'               => 0,
    'comparable'               => 0,
    'unique'                   => false,
    'user_defined'             => true,
    'is_user_defined'          => true,
    'used_in_product_listing'  => true
));

$this->endSetup();

    I hope it helps you

  30. And how can I do so in this category, the products have no prices, but to make a client request. I have install question extensions in products, if you can help me for other things – the abolition of purchase button and paste text and only for this category. Thank you in advance.

  31. @Senthil: To create a new tabpage, I copied the core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog folder to local/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog. And then under Catalog folder, in Category/Tabs.php, duplicated the ‘Category Products’ as:

    $this->addTab(‘products’, array(
    ‘label’ => Mage::helper(‘catalog’)->__(‘Category Products’),
    ‘content’ => $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘adminhtml/catalog_category_tab_product’, ‘category.product.grid’)->toHtml(),
    ));

    to:

    $this->addTab(‘categories’, array(
    ‘label’ => Mage::helper(‘catalog’)->__(‘Associated Categories.’),
    ‘content’ => $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘adminhtml/catalog_category_tab_category’, ‘category.category.grid’)->toHtml(),
    ));

    At the end, I literally duplicate the local/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Category/Tab/Product.php to local/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Category/Tab/Category.php. In Category.php, instead of:

    $collection = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product’)->getCollection()
    I am loading category collection as:

    $collection = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/category’)->getCollection()

    Now it is showing me ‘Associated Categories tabpage under categories and it loads categories but they don’t load as I’m expecting. When I click on add new category, it shows all the categories under ‘Associated Categories’ but when I click on any of the categories, they disappear. I want to be able to link any category to any other category. Also on clicking ‘Reset Filter’ button, it loads the products.

  33. Just to make sure:

    app\etc\modules\AL_CategoryAttributes.xml:

    true
    local

    app\code\local\AL\CategoryAttributes\config.xml:

    0.1.0

    CategoryAttributes
    Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup

    core_setup

    core_write

    core_read

    The mysql setup file:

    app\code\local\AL\CategoryAttributes\sql\categoryattributes_setup\mysql4-install-0.1.0.php

    Does is look correct?

    Does it also work with magento community 1.6.2?

    I am trying to imlement it but there is nothing being saved into the database nor is there anything in the category config page in admin.

  36. Ok Haney, for that you need to review the class fie “Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Category_Tab_Design” and the _prepareLayout() function in the same. From this file you can get the idea to how to add the tab in the Catalog –> Category management.

    Reply

  37. Thanks Senthil. But don’t want to assign products to multiple categories instead would like to assign categories to other categories.
    I’ll talk about a real time scenario. Say I have 3 categories: Men, Women and Hoods. In Men category, there are shirts, hats and hoods and the same for Women category. But when you click on Hoods, it should show all the hoods from Men and Women categories.

  39. I’m looking for to add a new tabpage under category in magento admin, which loads the category grid. Idea is to associate multiple categories to one category and on the front end, when you click on that particular category, it should show products from all the associated categories. Is there any better solution then create a new tabpage with categories grid?
    If not then can anybody help me to guide how to create a new tabpage under category in admin…

  40. @senthil thank you for reply.

    Admin–> Catalog->Categories has just one record – root derictory (id = 2). But DB table catalog_category_entity has two records:

    entity_id | 1 | 2 |
    entity_type_id | 3 | 3 |
    attribute_set_id | 0 | 3 |
    parent_id | 0 | 1 |
    …
    path | 1 | 1/2 |
    …

  48. Hi Karthick ,

    Go to Manage Products–>Click select All present in the grid and in the right top corner of the listing grid you can see “Actions” from there select “Update Attributres” it will take to a page which have three tabs in the left panel from there click inventory there you can see stock option. Please set Qty greater than Zero and update. Thats All. Also you can manage the stock for each product by Edit and click on inventory you have the same option. The Error cause for not listing the product is may be the “Out of stock”. And also some other cause may due to not map the products with the Active category . Please check that too.

    All the best.

  58. Thanks. This Post saved me a lot of headaches.

    Can you tell how much time you’ve spent to write this snippet? Especially with importing products it’s sometimes a staggering amount of time I spent to get it running :-/

    Reply

  59. i found it… i forgot to adapt this little piece of code:

    $installer->run("
INSERT INTO `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity_int')}`
(`entity_type_id`, `attribute_id`, `entity_id`, `value`)
    SELECT '{$entityTypeId}', '{$attributeId}', `entity_id`, '1'
        FROM `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity')}`;
");

    it should be

    $installer->run("
INSERT INTO `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity_varchar')}`
(`entity_type_id`, `attribute_id`, `entity_id`, `value`)
    SELECT '{$entityTypeId}', '{$attributeId}', `entity_id`, '1'
        FROM `{$installer->getTable('catalog_category_entity')}`;
");

    to play with varchar attributes…

    thanks again, guys!

  60. hi,

    thanks a LOT for the hints! with your help I managed to set up a multiselect attribute for additional static blocks to be attached to categories!

    BUT:

    it appears the data is not saved correctly. while catalog_category_entity_varchar table receives the correct values, all I get in catalog_category_flat_store_1 table is the value ‘1’, no matter what I enter.

    here’s the code I used for the multiselect attribute:

    $installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'cat_blocks', array(
    'label' => 'Blocks',
    'type' => 'varchar',
    'input' => 'multiselect',
    'default' => '',
    'class' => '',
    'backend' => 'eav/entity_attribute_backend_array',
    'frontend' => '',
    'source' => 'hme_xtracms/entity_attribute_source_blocks',
    'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
    'visible' => true,
    'required' => false,
    'user_defined' => false,
    'searchable' => false,
    'filterable' => false,
    'comparable' => false,
    'visible_on_front' => false,
    'visible_in_advanced_search' => false,
    'unique' => false
    ));

    the source model brings up the correct values. any idea what I might be missing?

    thanks a lot for your help!

    I have created a new module for this on app/code/local/company/catalog. In this I have added 2 directory for ./etc/config.xml and ./sql/catalog_setup/mysql4-install-1.0.0.php. I have also added a file to app/etc/modules/company_catalog.xml but it still does not seem to work. Can someone please help.
    Wasted almost 2 days on doing this instead of directly changing the database.

  62. @myself:
    I needed to add the New_Attribute.xml in etc/modules. After refreshing the cache the new attribute was added 😀

  63. Thanks for this script. I’ve created my own to add an attribute to a category. Now my question is, how do i execute this or does Magento do this by itself?
    At the moment I don’t see the new attribute 🙁

  64. how to update the custom attribute value programatically to some default value on creation or updation of the category.

  66. Actually, Tony, just figured out that if you re-index your store (specifically the Category Flat Data table), you’ll end up with your EAV fields in the category info. You may have to disable/re-enable the Flat Catalog Categories flag first (that’s when mine started working).

    Sweet!

  67. Tony, it’s probably because you have Flat Catalog Category (in System -> Config -> Catalog) set to Yes. Just ran into that myself.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to best add fields to Flat Catalog Categories? Or do we need to alter the structure of the flat table in the db?

  68. Hi,

    I have your code implemented on a 1.5.0.1 store, the attribute appears in the admin and saves fine. However when I come to access the attribute it does not work. I have the following code…

    $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($catId);
$category->getData('custom_attribute')

    I can see by using the following code that my model does not contain the attribute..

    $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($catId);
print_r($category->debug());

    Any ideas why that might happen?

    Thank!!

  70. @Vedran,
    This is very simple tip Thanks. Can u please tell me how can I add an attribute in “Display setting” tab. I have to change the GROUPID or ATTRIBUTESET_ID?

    not necessarily..you can create “update” sql_setup script of existing module and just increse the nuber of module version.

    @Byron
    It’s developed and tested on 1.5.0.1
    I don’t believe that there is too much difference between those 2 version so it should work. Try again.

  77. Thanks Vedran for the write up. For some reason, I am unable to get this to work properly on v1.5. I followed your instructions to the letter (including fixed a typo / should be ). Not sure what I missed.

  79. Nice post. To be honest I’ve never needed to use much more than Category title, description and image, however this is a pretty clever script.

    Love the simplicity of it too.

  80. Thanks Vedran. Probably makes sense to use some sort of prefix to reference the site to make it unique.

  82. Very nice work Vedran. Do these sort of changes cause any problems when it is time to update Magento?
