magento Attribute Set Details

Introduction

An attribute set is a collection of attributes which can be created/edited from Catalog -> Manage Attribute Sets in backend.

Some useful snippets regarding Attribute Set.

1> Getting Attribute Set Details

1 2 3 4

$attributeSetModel = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute_set'); $attributeSetId    = 9; // or $_product->getAttributeSetId(); if you are using product model $attributeSetModel->load($attributeSetId); print_r($attributeSetModel->getData());

2> Getting Attribute Set Id by Name

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

$entityTypeId = Mage::getModel('eav/entity')                 ->setType('catalog_product')                 ->getTypeId(); $attributeSetName   = 'Default'; $attributeSetId     = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute_set')                     ->getCollection()                     ->setEntityTypeFilter($entityTypeId)                     ->addFieldToFilter('attribute_set_name', $attributeSetName)                     ->getFirstItem()                     ->getAttributeSetId(); echo $attributeSetId;

Note that the following code doesn’t work

1 2 3

$attributeSetId = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute_set') ->load($attributeSetName, 'attribute_set_name') ->getAttributeSetId();

Because if you refer to eav_attribute_set table then you can see there are lots of rows with same attribute set name(for example: Default)

3> Getting all Attribute Sets by Entity Type(catalog_product)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

$entityTypeId = Mage::getModel('eav/entity')                 ->setType('catalog_product')                 ->getTypeId(); $attributeSetCollection = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute_set')                 ->getCollection()                 ->setEntityTypeFilter($entityTypeId); foreach($attributeSetCollection as $_attributeSet){     print_r($_attributeSet->getData()); }

Alternatively, you can also use:

1 2 3 4

$attributeSets = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_attribute_set_api')->items(); foreach($attributeSets as $_attributeSet){     print_r($_attributeSet); }

4> Getting all attributes in an Attribute Set

1 2 3 4

$attributes = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_attribute_api')->items($attributeSetId); foreach($attributes as $_attribute){     print_r($_attribute); }

5> Filtering Products by Attribute Set

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

$productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')                     ->getCollection()                     ->addAttributeToSelect('*')                     ->addFieldToFilter('attribute_set_id', $attributeSetId); foreach($productCollection as $_product){     print_r($_product->getData()); }
