    <p>I would suggest a little different approach. Enhancing the Admin interface is difficult, but possible. Here is an easier way.</p> <p><strong>Method #1 - Quick and Easy</strong></p> <p>Create yourself a script that would go through a list of products. You can select them by attribute type, category, or even just select them all! Then, loop through that collection, and for each product, grab the title, query the movie API, and set the product's attributes. Then, save the product, and move to the next one. Something like this:</p> <p>Note: Be sure to create your custom attributes in the admin and assign them to the attribute set.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require_once 'app/Mage.php'; umask(0); Mage::app('default'); function getVideoDataFromAPI($title) { // get your data from the API here... return $data; } $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection') -&gt;addAttributeToFilter('attribute_set_id', $yourAttributeSetId) -&gt;addAttributeToFilter('year', ''); // &lt;-- Set a field here that will be empty by default, and filled by the API. This is '' because it won't be null. foreach ( $collection-&gt;getAllIds() as $id ) { $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')-&gt;load($id); $videoData = getVideoDataFromAPI($product-&gt;getName()); if ( empty($videoData) ) { continue; } $product-&gt;setYear($videoData['year']) -&gt;setRating($videoData['rating']) -&gt;save(); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Method #2 - Do the above, but in a custom extension</strong></p> <p>I always like extensions over scripts. They are more secure and more powerful. With an extension you could have an admin list of the products, can filter them how ever you would like, and have a mass action to pull the video data manually. You could also set it up on a cron job to pull regularly.</p>

    1. COHello and thank you very much! I will check on that extension, seems to be the best solution. I will post a follow back. Your script also gives me a start point in case I decide to go that way.

    2. COThe extension doesn't exist yet. I only mentioned building one, because the things you are trying to do would be best in a custom extension.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
