How to Display Custom Attribute Value in Product View/List Page in Magento 2?

Magento 2, the next generation Magento platform, has numerous enhancements and has addressed issues that have emerged over the years.

How to Display Custom Attribute

This article explains how to display custom attribute value in Product view/list page in Magento 2.

Below are the steps to create and show the attribute values in product details page and list page.

Step 1:

Create a new attribute ‘demo_link’ in Magento backend under STORES->Attributes->Product.

To Display, the new attribute in List Page, set the value “YES” to “Used in Product Listing” under storefront Properties while creating the attribute.

Step 2:

Assign the newly created Attribute to Default attribute set in STORES->Attributes->Attribute Set.

Step 3:

Now you can see the attribute ‘demo_link’ in manage product section. You can enter the appropriate value.

Note: It is assumed that you know how to create and assign the attribute to the attribute set. This article does not provide those details.

Step 4:

To display the attribute value in product list page, add the below code in app/design/frontend/YOUR_VENDOR/YOUR_THEME/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list.phtml

Display the attribute value in Product View Page

To Display the new attribute in View Page, you can set the value “YES” to “Visible on Catalog Pages on Storefront” under storefront Properties from the backend. It will display your attribute under “More Infomation” tab.
If you want to display your attribute next to “Add to Cart” button then you need to follow the below steps.

Step 5:

Override the catalog_product_view.xml to include the attribute in your view page by creating the new theme structure.
For creating theme structure refer http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/frontend-dev-guide/themes/theme-create.html

As a further step in the process, it is essential that you add the below code in app/design/frontend///Magento_catalog/layout/override/base/catalog_product_view.xml

You can add this section inside the product.info.main container. You can add your block next to product.info.overview block. This will be displayed next to the short description.

Step 6 :

As the next step in the process, it is necessary to create a new ” demo.phtml” file under app/design/frontend/YOUR_VENDOR/YOUR_THEME/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/ with the below code

That’s it. Now you will be able to view the attribute value in product view page.

  Even the drop down attribute has stored for a particular product as a string value. you can use the same code and display at frontend.

  Check whether the custom attribute is enabled and set the value “yes” to “visible on catalog pages on storefront” and “used in product listing” at the backend.

Hi,

It works fine for simple products, however it does not work for configurable products.
I’m trying to show a custom attribute value to change dynamically just like the SKU number for a configurable product. I’ve tried many solution found on the net but none of them seem to work for a configurable.

Is there a solution for this?

Thank you.

  Hi,
  
  Excuse us for the late reply.
  Go to the app/design/frontend/YOUR_VENDOR/YOUR_THEME/Magento_catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml.
  Inside the XML, you will find the container name “product.info.main”. Add your custom block before closing the container and save the file.
  Please clear the cache in the backend and do a check. If everything’s done correctly, the custom attribute for configurable products will be shown.
  
  Thank you,
  Technical Team,
  DCKAP.

Hi

I have the file catalog_product_view.xml in the directory app/design/frontend///Magento_catalog/layout which is a different directory

Do I create the app/design/frontend///Magento_catalog/layout/override/base/catalog_product_view.xml file and directory?

Thank you

  Hi,
  We assume you need to display custom attribute link in product detail page.
  To get the demolink before the Add to Cart Button, you can perform the following steps
  1.In the file app/design/frontend/YOUR_VENDOR/YOUR_THEME/Magento_catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml,
  add the below code inside the “product.info.addtocart” block
  
  getDemoLink
  demo_link
  demo_link
  Demo Link
  itemprop=”demo_link”
  
  2.Then overwrite the vendor/magento/module-catalog/templates/product/view/addtocart.phtml in your theme folder as
  app/design/frontend/YOUR_VENDOR/YOUR_THEME/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/addtocart.phtml
  and add the below code after the
  helper(‘Magento\Catalog\Helper\Output’);
  $_product = $block->getProduct();
  $_code = $block->getAtCode();
  $_className = $block->getCssClass();
  $_attributeLabel = $block->getAtLabel();
  $_attributeType = $block->getAtType();
  $_attributeAddAttribute = $block->getAddAttribute();
  if ($_attributeLabel && $_attributeLabel == ‘default’) {
  $_attributeLabel = $_product->getResource()->getAttribute($_code)->getFrontendLabel();
  }
  $_attributeValue = $_product->getResource() -> getAttribute ($_code) ->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);
  ?>
  
  <div class="value" >

Okay – thank you!
this was really helpful.
BUT, what if I have two attributes e.g., car_model and car_year and I want to club them together into single line .e.g., it should show as
Suitable For : Toyota Corolla 2002-2010
where
Suitable For == attribute label
Toyota Corolla == car_model
2002-2010 == car_year

  Hi Abid,
  
  If you want to display more than one custom attributes to be display in frontend, you can directly fetch it in demo.phtml like this,
  
  $carModel =$_product->getResource()->getAttribute(‘car_model’)->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);
  
  $carYear =$_product->getResource()->getAttribute(‘car_year’)->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);
  
  Now you have the values in $carModel,$carYear and display it as per your wish.
  
  Please let me know if this resolved your issue.
  Thanks.

  Hello
  In demo.phtml file, you have to take array of attributes like this :
  $_helper = $this->helper(‘MagentoCatalogHelperOutput’);
  $_product = $block->getProduct();
  $_code = $block->getAtCode();
  $attributes = array(“car_model”, “car_year”);
  $_className = $block->getCssClass();
  $_attributeLabel = $block->getAtLabel();
  $_attributeType = $block->getAtType();
  $_attributeAddAttribute = $block->getAddAttribute();
  
  foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
  if ($_attributeLabel ) {
  $_attributeLabel = $_product->getResource()->getAttribute($attribute)->getFrontendLabel();
  }
  $_attributeValue =$_product->getResource()->getAttribute($attribute)->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);
  
  :
  <span class="value" >
  
  <?php endif;
  }

    After span class=value, some code are automatically removed. After span class put echo $_attributeAddAttribute; and echo $_attributeValue; <?php endif; }
    
    Request to admin for this problem. Sorry for multiple comments.

Hi – thanks for this I have it working in 2.1.4 – I had to use this code for the product list page though…

productAttribute($_product, $_product->getDemoLink(), ‘demo_link’); ?>

Is there a way to pull in tier prices on to the product list page? I see tier_price is also in the attribute list but I am unsure of the syntax. Thanks

    Hi,
    We checked for virtual products and it works fine without any issues. We suspect there may be some other customization which may affect your virtual products. Also, please check if you have assigned the “custom attribute” to right “attribute set” which connects with your virtual product.
    Please let us know if this resolves your issue. Thanks.
