    <p>I have an array of attribute codes which I need to get the values of:</p> <pre><code>$attributes = array( 'Category' =&gt; 'type', 'Manufacturer' =&gt; 'brand', 'Title' =&gt; 'meta_title', 'Description' =&gt; 'description', 'Product Link' =&gt; 'url_path', 'Price' =&gt; 'price', 'Product-image link' =&gt; 'image', 'SKU' =&gt; 'sku', 'Stock' =&gt; 'qty', 'Condition' =&gt; 'condition', 'Shipping cost' =&gt; 'delivery_cost'); </code></pre> <p>After iterating through a product collection I get the frontend values of the attributes like so:</p> <pre><code>$attributeId = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute') -&gt;getIdByCode('catalog_product', $attribute_code); $attribute = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute') -&gt;load($attributeId); $value = $attribute-&gt;getFrontend()-&gt;getValue($product); </code></pre> <p>Simply using <code>$product-&gt;getDate($attribute)</code> won't work with dropdowns and multi-selects, it just returns their id and not their frontend value.</p> <p>While the code above works, it seems to be a long way around getting the value, but more importantly it runs quite slow. Is there a faster/more sensible way to get the frontend values for product attributes?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong><br> I now have the following (after dealing with special cases like <code>image</code> and <code>qty</code>) which is a bit easier on the eyes and does seem to run quicker (although I don't know why):</p> <pre><code>$inputType = $product-&gt;getResource() -&gt;getAttribute($attribute_code) -&gt;getFrontend() -&gt;getInputType(); switch ($inputType) { case 'multiselect': case 'select': case 'dropdown': $value = $product-&gt;getAttributeText($attribute_code); if (is_array($value)) { $value = implode(', ', $value); } break; default: $value = $product-&gt;getData($attribute_code); break; } $attributesRow[] = $value; </code></pre> <p>If anyone can improve this (make it simpler/more efficient), please post an answer.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
