really helpful man! The only thing I cant figure out is why they dont allow you to gather a products type via getData('type');

@Mohit

There are number of articles and even some extensions you can download from this site that should cover your question.

Hi..

$cModelData = $cModel->getData();
echo $cModelData->sku;

This code isnt working. It should be following....

$cModelData = $cModel->getData();
echo $cModelData['sku'];

Because $cModel->getData() is returning array, it need to be accessed as an array element. Arrow operator here will give error.

Thanks for quick reply. One another thing I am wondering is that how magento is storing the entities values in database. I have created my own module and I have also created few attributes related to my entity_set. And I am also able to create dynamically as per magento database. Please have a look to this thread:
http://www.magentocommerce.com...
So if you can guide me than it will really help me to understand magento to great extent. One more thing, we can filter collection by attribute and if I want to filter my collection with field then how can I do this. Thanks in advance brother to guide me.

@Yogendra

Actually you can use full class name like

$product = new Mage_Model_Catalog_Product();
$product->load($productId);

Very useful article indeed.

I was wondering how I shoul use those functions to display the product details (image, descriptions...) in a light popup clicking on an image to avoid reloading the page.

What should be the best way to do it, passing the product id to a js-php file that will create an instance of Mage_Catalog_Model_Product class, then load data?

Could I pass the array variable $_product to dynamically generate the detail product popup ?

Your suggestions are welcome :).

Sylvie

@nirmesh

Thank you for for reading my blog. This is relatively old article now :)

Not sure what exactly you are trying to do in your example. Take a look at inchoo.net site (company I work for). You'll find few additional Magento articles by me and my co-workers.

Cheers...

hi branko,

thanx a lot this article proved to be very useful for me.

just one doubt please clarify it:

My only idea is to get an array of all product ids then have a php function randomly pick one out and get the details via a $cModel->load(); and write it, then repeat!!

Seems a bit long winded,

is there not any way so that i can put any variable in load so that it could retrieve all the product information

I would like to thanks Branko for this article. Very helpful. Cheers Mate for this. Much appreciated.

I have put the code in this comment in case some people are still struggling to get the desired results -:

This code you can copy as it is in /template/catalog/product/view.phtml file.

$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
$_product = $this->getProduct();

$cModel_PC = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');

echo '';
foreach (get_class_methods(get_class($cModel_PC)) as $cMethod) {
echo '' . $cMethod . '';
}
echo '';

echo '====';

echo '';
foreach (get_class_methods(get_class($_helper)) as $cMethod) {
echo '' . $cMethod . '';
}
echo '';

$cModel_PC->load($_helper->productAttribute($_product, $this->htmlEscape($_product->getId()), 'Id'));

echo $cModel_PC->getData('description');
echo $cModel_PC->getData('name');
echo $cModel_PC->getData('manufacture');

But how would I get a handle on the ProductAttribute Object?

$attributes = Mage::getModel('catalog/product/attribute');

... doesn't work. Oddly enough, it returns the Product object.

I've used your blog post extensively in learning how to pull down product data but I can't seem to find a method or even anything from print_r($cModel->getData()) that would indicate where a Bundle product's price data is stored. It seems like it might be in the Tier price array (and associated arrays), but alas they are empty when I attempt to output them. Do you have any insight branko?

Same problem here. I'm trying to create a custom module and I need to show some products, but $product->getName() method doesn't return anything. Any ideas?

Anyway, nice job with this blog,man. I found it very useful. Keep up the good work!
