If statement for translatable product attribute values

Question

I'm using this kind of statements on other places in the webshop (product detail page) but I want to use this one is on the category page:

<?php if ($_product->getAttributeText('cp_doos_specificaties') == "Ja" || "Yes"): ?>

But for some reason this isn't working... When I remove the || Yes it's working, but I need the Yes also because the webshop is also in English and otherwise the code won't work.

Hope someone can help me with this.

Answer 1

Yo can use like below statement in your case,

This condition is allow both value Ja And Yes

<?php if ($_product->getAttributeText('cp_doos_specificaties') == "Ja" || $_product->getAttributeText('cp_doos_specificaties') == "Yes"): ?>

Answer 2

In addition to Rakesh Jesadiya who is absolutely correct in his answer, I think you should also improve the quality of the IF-statement.

If the attribute cp_doos_specificaties is a Yes/No-attribute, it will either have values "0" (for no) or "1" (for yes). Your IF-statement only takes into account 2 languages, and if someone ever adds another, they will have to know this - which is very unlikely to happen.

Instead, better use this:

<?php
// language-independent check
if ($_product->getData('cp_doos_specificaties') == "1") {
    // ...
}

Answer 3

I think Your flat tables is enable so Follow below steps,

1. Login to admin panel
2. Goto Catalog > attributes > Manage Attributes
3. Find cp_doos_specificaties in attribute code
4. Click on the attribute
5. Set yes to Used in Product Listing
6. Click on save
7. Do re-indexing from System->index Managment
8. Finally clear the cache

Answer 4

Depending on your attribute type, you can use $_product->getAttributeText('xyz') or $_product->getData('xyz') to get attribute value.

Instead of

<?php
if ($_product->getAttributeText('cp_doos_specificaties') == "Ja"
 || $_product->getAttributeText('cp_doos_specificaties') == "Yes"):
?>

you should consider to make this work language independend. It seems better to compare the attributes to the translated value.

if ($_product->getAttributeText('cp_doos_specificaties') == $this->__('Yes'))

Now make shure "Yes" is somewhere translated in one of your translation.csv.

If the attribute only returns 0 or 1, you can use

if ($_product->getData('cp_doos_specificaties'))
