‘I figured out how to place attributes on listing for 1.4.1.1, no more XML involved, just insert the right php in list.phtml….i am now on to the next challenge of customizing the advanced search!’

what php code did you use, because I try many things but can’t make it work.

This is an example:
getVierkantemeterppvan(); ?>

But that didn’t work…

CJ, I have Magento 1.4.1.1 on ubuntu server 10.04–now on development stage. Let me know how much do you charge for consulting…there are 2 most important mods I need right now: a) place some attributes on the list page, which is covered by this tutorial but not for 1.4.1.1, and b) putting a custom advanced search block on the top of the page, by custom i mean just using 3 or 4 searchable fields in dropdown boxes.

I have done the required back end config, all i need is the code tweaks. I am online as vinsanity68 on yahoo messenger.

Yes they are tied together, dependent how you code list.phml and you must have an assigned attribute that matches, or else it will produce a php error. Please note, as far as my testing goes, it does work with up to 1.3 but in 1.4 versions of Magneto some “get PHP codes” have to be changed to achieve the same result. Regardless, the concept is still the same; they are tied together, and so you can customize the catalog view and list page in all versions.

Magento Install is the root of your Magento installation files. Your template is named ‘default’ when you install Magento. Your theme is named ‘default’ when you install Magento.

Hope this helps.

I cannot seem to find this directory: what is the …

Now go, inside your /magento_install/app/…/template/catalog/product/list.phtml

Im not a programmer, so mind if I ask what is the role of the xml file…(i noticed it has a tag and there is a $_product reference in your code and the attribute….are they tied up together?)
