I have manage to retrieve the value for an attribute relative to a particular product

 $store_id = Mage::app()->getStore()->getStoreId();
 $attribute_code = 'code';
 $value =  Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product')
        ->getAttributeRawValue($prod_id, $attribute_code, $store_id);

What I miss here is the label associated to the attribute value.

How can I get it, without load the full product object ?

This code works fine and avoid to load the entire product obj

$option_id = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product')
    ->getAttributeRawValue($prod_id, $attribure_code, $store_id); 

Method 1

$option_value = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_option_collection')
    ->setStoreFilter($store_id)
    ->setIdFilter($option_id)
    ->getFirstItem()
    ->getValue();

Method 2 (@Marius)

// to be tested
// not loading the product - just creating a simple instance
$singleton_prod = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')
     ->setStoreId($store_id)
     ->setData($attribure_code, $option_id); 
$optionLabel = $singleton_prod->getAttributeText($attribure_code);

  • Regarding Method2 , it should be $_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->setStoreId($storeId)->setYourAttributeCode($yourAttributeOptionId); $productOptionLabel = $_product->getAttributeText($yourAtrributeCode); Credits to @Marius - magento.stackexchange.com/a/8396/695

  • I don't see the difference in the code you posted. setYourAttributeCode($value) or setData($attribute_code, value) is the same ( credit to varien team :)

  • setData doesn't work , whereas setAttributeCode works , atleast in my case ...(verified with older 1.6.1.x version and in the recent 1.9.3.x. version), though the difference is not visible.

You can also use some thing like this if you have $product variable.

$product->getResource()->getAttribute($attribute_code)->getFrontend()->getLabel($product);

  • The only problem here is the OP already has the resource model.

  • Yes, i just suggest other method to retrieve label, if op has product_id then may be he has product object

  • I don't want to load the full prod model only for getting the label if possible ...

    getAttributeRawValue only gives you value of particular attribute

I used this code.

$some_attr_code = "brand"
$optionId = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('option_id');

/** @var Mage_Eav_Model_Attribute $attribute */
$attribute = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')->getAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, $some_attr_code);
$label = $attribute->getStoreLabel();
if($optionId){
  $optionLabel = $attribute->getFrontend()->getOption($optionId);
}

This solution isn't bound to a strict model or a resource model and can be used to retrieve an option label of an attribute that is assigned to whatever entity type:

// In your case $entityType should be `catalog_product`
$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute($entityType, $attributeCode);
echo $attribute->getSource()->getOptionText($optionId);

FYI, $attribute->getSource() returns an instance of Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Source_Table which has the following methods:

Array
(
    [0] => getAllOptions
    [1] => getOptionText
    [2] => addValueSortToCollection
    [3] => getFlatColums
    [4] => getFlatIndexes
    [5] => getFlatUpdateSelect
    [6] => setAttribute
    [7] => getAttribute
    [8] => getOptionId
    [9] => getIndexOptionText
)

I should note that Method 1 from accepted answer throws an SQL error in Magento v1.9.4 (I'm not sure about the other versions):

Column 'option_id' in where clause is ambiguous

The reason could be found in the below generated SQL query:

SELECT
    `main_table`.*,
    `tdv`.`value` AS `default_value`,
    `tsv`.`value` AS `store_default_value`,
IF
    ( tsv.value_id > 0, tsv.VALUE, tdv.VALUE ) AS `value` 
FROM
    `eav_attribute_option` AS `main_table`
    INNER JOIN `eav_attribute_option_value` AS `tdv` ON tdv.option_id = main_table.option_id
    LEFT JOIN `eav_attribute_option_value` AS `tsv` ON tsv.option_id = main_table.option_id 
    AND tsv.store_id = 0 
WHERE
    ( tdv.store_id = 0 ) 
    # This is the culprit
    AND ( `option_id` IN ( 9999 ) )

  • This is an excellent explanation.

What about this?

$attribute = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')->getAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, $attribute_code);
$label = $attribute->getFrontend()->getLabel();

  • Sorry but this is not what I'm asking ... the value of the attribute is related to a particular product/store id ...

  • I'm sorry, but it really wasn't clear from your question...

  • Anyway, in attribute model Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute you also have the method getStoreLabel($storeId = null)
