Getting magento Attribute on item returns blank

Question

I am trying to get some custom attributes to show in magento like Color, Delivery_Time...

I could call Some Attributes with :

<?php echo $item->getName();?>
<?php echo $item->getWeight();?>

But i could'nt call the most of the attributes. i've tried also :

<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($item->getData('luftkammern'));?>
<?php echo $item->getAttributeText('spannung'); ?>

Nothing works!!

Code of attributes :

<?php
$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
$_product = $this->getProduct()
?>
<?php if($_additional = $this->getAdditionalData()): ?>
<h2><?php echo $this->__('Additional Information') ?></h2>
<table class="data-table" id="product-attribute-specs-table">
    <col width="25%" />
    <col />
    <tbody>
    <?php foreach ($_additional as $_data): ?>
        <tr>
            <th class="label"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->__($_data['label'])) ?></th>
            <td class="data"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product,$_data['value'],    $_data['code']) ?></td>
        </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </tbody>

Answer 1

Please check the following code:

    $attributes = $product->getAttributes();
    $additional_data = array();
    foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
        if ($attribute->getIsVisibleOnFront() && $attribute->getIsUserDefined()) {
            $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($product);

            if (!$product->hasData($attribute->getAttributeCode())) {
                $value = Mage::helper('catalog')->__('N/A');
            } elseif ((string)$value == '') {
                $value = Mage::helper('catalog')->__('No');
            } elseif ($attribute->getFrontendInput() == 'price' && is_string($value)) {
                $value = Mage::app()->getStore()->convertPrice($value, true);
            }

            if (is_string($value) && strlen($value)) {
                $additional_data[$attribute->getAttributeCode()] = array(
                    'label' => $attribute->getStoreLabel(),
                    'value' => $value,
                    'code'  => $attribute->getAttributeCode()
                );
            }
        }
    }

    /* Your code here */
    <h2><?php echo $this->__('Additional Information') ?></h2>
    ...
    <?php foreach ($additional_data as $_data): ?>
    ...

Answer 2

If you need to get those attributes in checkout page, you can do like this :

$_product = $item->getProduct();
$pid = $_product->getId();
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($pid);
/* getting some attributes */
$color = $product->getData('color');
$manufacturer = $product->getData('manufacturer');
$delivery_date = $product->getData('delivery_date');
....

Hope it will help you.

Answer 3

You can get attributes from a product by calling the correct get function.

For example to receive the color use:

echo $item->getColor();

To receive the manufacturer use:

echo $item->getManufacturer();

Also you have to make sure that your product has been fully loaded. Try this:

print_r($item->getData());
