Magento 1.8 – Adding Attributes to All Products

attribute-setmagento-1.8product-attribute

I created a new attribute and I need to add it to almost all products and since I am new with Magento I don't exactly know how to do that.

Can this be done by simply adding the attribute to an attribute set that is linked with all the products or does this need to be done in a different way?

If this is the correct way just leave a simple yes and if not could you explain me how to do this?

Create and Add Attribute Group with Attributes to All Attribute Sets in Magento 1

It's a lot easier to do it via setup script. Here is an example:

// Add new Attribute group
$groupName = 'My Attr Group';
$entityTypeId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('catalog_product');
$attributeSetId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
$installer->addAttributeGroup($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId, $groupName, 100);
$attributeGroupId = $installer->getAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId, $groupName);

// Add existing attribute to group
$attributeId = $installer->getAttributeId($entityTypeId, ATTRIBUTE_CODE);
$installer->addAttributeToGroup($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId, $attributeGroupId, $attributeId, null);

Note: $installer variable is instance of Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup class. You can look there for further reference. You can also look in app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/sql/catalog_setup folder for some more examples.
