how to add a prefix to a product attribute value?.
i want to add a prefix to a product attribute.
for example: i have an attribute named general_weight with a number value: 1000 . i want to add a prefix like: Kg to its value. i want it to be shown this way:
General Weight: 1000 Kg .
how to do that? i will thankful if you experts help me with this.
In this case you can use magento event/observer.There are lot of events are exiting in by whose you can set general_weight basic of weight.
As you have using this code.There some issue in your observer.
Don't need to load the product object Again
<?php
class Moh3n_Attvaluecopier_Model_Observer
{
public function copyAttribute($observer)
{
$finalTemWeight=$observer->getEvent()->getProduct()->getData('weight');
$observer->getEvent()->getProduct()->setData('general_weight',$finalTemWeight.'KG');
return $this;
}
}
observer.php should be like this:
<?php
class Moh3n_Attvaluecopier_Model_Observer
{
public function copyAttribute($observer){
if(!$this->_processFlag):
$this->_processFlag=true;
$_product = $observer->getProduct();
$_productid = $_product->getId();
$productModel = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$loadCurrentProduct = $productModel->load($_productid);
$loadCurrentProduct->setGeneralWeight(intval($loadCurrentProduct->getWeight()));
$weight = intval($loadCurrentProduct->getWeight());
$gw = (string)$weight. " KG";
$loadCurrentProduct->setGeneralWeight($gw);
$loadCurrentProduct->save();
endif;}
}
