Load admin text label instead of the Default Store View Label on multi-list attribute

Question

I'm trying to load the Admin Text Label instead of the translated Default store view label but can't figure out how to do it.Been searching for an answer for days.

<?php 
$sportTypes = explode(",",$_product->getResource()
->getAttribute('foodpair')->getFrontend()
->getValue($_product));

foreach($sportTypes as $key => $value){
        echo $value;
    }
 ?>

The problem is, I can only get the default store label but not the admin one :(

Answer 1

If I am understanding correctly you just want the Label. Your code will show the value, not the label. For example if that attribute is a Yes/No, your code sample will show "No" or "Yes" when it echo's.

If you want the label you need to change your syntax slightly:

$sportTypes = explode(",",$_product->getResource()
->getAttribute('foodpair')->getFrontend()
->getLabel($_product));

foreach($sportTypes as $key => $value){
    echo $value;
}

I just did a bit of testing and created a new attribute with 8 websites. Each website I had a different string for the label. When I used

$label = $_product->getResource()
->getAttribute('foodpair')->getFrontend()
->getLabel($_product)

My $label had a value of the default Store

Now for the webpage view of the $label
