Thank you – this helped guide us in the right direction to be able to add a special price/deal text note on the Grouped Product table. But be aware that for newer Magento versions you should NOT edit the catalog.xml file – just skip that part. For our case with the Grouped product, we changed the php code to include by $_item instead of by the product.

Different problem, but maybe you can help:
in Magento 1.5.0.1 productstatus is shown as “not in stock”, while they’re in stock. I guess there’s an error in list.phtml?
How does Magento determens if a product is saleable? I guess the list.phtml always returns “false”.

thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
Great post, really helpful to me. I’m a real beginner to all this php stuffs. But i tried to do exactly what you did. So i really need your help.

My problem is the custom attribute doesn’t show up on my grid view. I already edited both catalog.xml and list.phtml.

i added under “” & “” this…
“GridNote”

then i added in list.phtml under “”

“getGridNote() ) {
?>
getGridNote();
?>
”

I did all these steps above, but nothing appears on the products grid. Hope you could help me because my knowledge in all these is so limited.

Thank you so much in advance.

Thanks!
Some how I missed “Used in product listing: Yes” when setting up a custom attributes. Without it the helper “$_product->getGridNote()” will not work in /cat…/prod…/list.phtml.

mischa, for the proper placement of the GridNote action in catalog.xml follow the instructions under the heading "Update layout XML" in the following Magento Wiki article: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how-to/add-attributes-to-product-grid Basically, you add it twice. Directly below/after the line(s): <block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">

Where did you put the GridNote action in catalog.xml?
