Hello folks,
If you want to add custom category attribute to Magento then you are at right place.
Today, I am going to show you how to create a custom attribute.
To create a custom attribute the first step is to create a module.
Step 1: Create a file app/code/local/Magemonkeys/Customattribute/etc/config.xml and paste the below code in that file.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <Magemonkeys_Customattribute> <version>0.0.1</version> </Magemonkeys_Customattribute> </modules> <global> <resources> <customattribute_setup> <setup> <module>Magemonkeys_Customattribute</module> <class>Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup</class> </setup> <connection> <use>default_setup</use> </connection> </customattribute_setup> </resources> </global> </config> |
Step 2: Create a file app/etc/modules/Magemonkeys_Customattribute.xml and paste the below code in the file

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <Magemonkeys_Customattribute> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> </Magemonkeys_Customattribute> </modules> </config> |
Step 3: Create a file app/code/local/Magemonkeys/Customattribute/sql/customattribute_setup/mysql4-install-0.0.1.php and paste the below code in it.

<?php $installer = $this; $installer->startSetup(); $attribute = array( 'type' => 'text', 'label'=> 'Another Descrtiption', 'input' => 'textarea', 'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL, 'visible' => true, 'required' => false, 'user_defined' => true, 'default' => "", 'group' => "General Information" ); $installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'another_description', $attribute); $installer->endSetup(); ?> |
After this you have to clear the cache and go to Catalog -> Manage Categories, you will see your new attribute in the “General Information” tab.
