Product Title based on EAV

Question

I kept looking for days to find a way to fill the product title (in the backend product add/edit form) field automatically based on values that i choose on different custom attributes.

Answer 1

You can observe the event catalog_product_save_before and construct the name based on the attributes you need.

Here is a small example on how the observer method could look.

public function generateName($observer) {
    $product = $observer->getEvent()->getProduct();
    $newName = $product->getWidth(). ' - '.$product->getAspectRatio().' - '....//all attributes you need
    $product->setName($newName);
    return $this;
}

This could work if when you save the product from the backend, but I don't think it will work if you import products.
