i did some coding to group the product attributes on frontend and show their groups names above theme like this:
- attgroup 1
- attribute 1
- attribute 2
- ...
- attgroup 2
- attribute 3
- attribute 4
- ...
I added /app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Attributesgroups.php with the following code:
<?php
class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Attributesgroups extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
protected $_product = null;
function getProduct()
{
if (!$this->_product) {
$this->_product = Mage::registry('product');
}
return $this->_product;
}
public function getAdditionalData(array $excludeAttr = array())
{
$data = array();
$product = $this->getProduct();
$attributes = $product->getAttributes();
foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
if ($attribute->getIsVisibleOnFront() && !in_array($attribute->getAttributeCode(), $excludeAttr)) {
$value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($product);
// TODO this is temporary skipping eco taxes
if (is_string($value)) {
if (strlen($value) && $product->hasData($attribute->getAttributeCode())) {
if ($attribute->getFrontendInput() == 'price') {
$value = Mage::app()->getStore()->convertPrice($value,true);
} elseif (!$attribute->getIsHtmlAllowedOnFront()) {
$value = $this->htmlEscape($value);
}
$group = 0;
if( $tmp = $attribute->getData('attribute_group_id') ) {
$group = $tmp;
}
$data[$group]['items'][ $attribute->getAttributeCode()] = array(
'label' => $attribute->getFrontend()->getLabel(),
'value' => $value,
'code' => $attribute->getAttributeCode()
);
$data[$group]['attrid'] = $attribute->getId();
}
}
}
}
// Noch Titel lesen
foreach( $data AS $groupId => &$group ) {
$groupModel = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute_group')->load( $groupId );
$group['title'] = $groupModel->getAttributeGroupName();
}
return $data;
}
}
Then, I created the /app/design/frontend/MY_TEMPLATE/default/template/catalog/product/view/attributesgroups.phtml file with the following content:
<?php
$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
$_product = $this->getProduct()
?>
<?php if($_additionalgroup = $this->getAdditionalData()): ?>
<div class="box-collateral box-additional">
<h2><?php echo $this->__('Additional Information') ?></h2>
<?php $i=0; foreach ($_additionalgroup as $_additional): $i++; ?>
<h3><?php echo $this->__( $_additional['title'] )?></h3>
<table class="data-table" id="product-attribute-specs-table-<?php echo $i?>">
<col width="25%" />
<col />
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($_additional['items'] as $_data): ?>
<tr>
<th class="label"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->__($_data['label'])) ?></th>
<td class="data"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code']) ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">decorateTable('product-attribute-specs-table-<?php echo $i?>')</script>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif;?>
Last step was to modify /app/design/frontend/default/YOUR_TEMPLATE/layout/catalog.xml in line 223, and replaced
<block type="catalog/product_view_attributes" name="product.attributes" as="additional" template="catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml">
with
<block type="catalog/product_view_attributesgroups" name="product.attributes" as="additional" template="catalog/product/view/attributesgroups.phtml">
i did this but nothing is changed on product attribute tap on frontend product page.
im using magento 1.9.1 ce and custom template
