Magento – Adding product short-description on product review page

templatetheme

I have used

$_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description');

in catalog/product/view.phtml to show the product short description.

Its showing in single product page but not in product review page though enabling Template Path Hints shows they both come from view.phtml

Any suggestions?

You need to re-write class Mage_Review_Block_Product_View and update below function:

protected function _toHtml()
{
    //$this->getProduct()->setShortDescription(null); // comment out this code. it is setting short description value to null

    return parent::_toHtml();
}

Magento – Output all product attribute values on catalog page

First idea : Change all the attributes, so "Used in Product Listing" is the same as "Use In Layered Navigation", then you have only the attributes in the product which are filterable.

Second idea: Write an observer and change the attributes which are selected.

$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection');
$collection
   ->setItemObjectClass('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')
   ->setAttributeSetFilter($setIds)
   ->addStoreLabel(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
   ->setOrder('position', 'ASC')
   ->addIsFilterableFilter();

This way you get the filterable attributes. And with the following code, you get the ones from the product listing:

$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection');
$collection
   ->setItemObjectClass('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')
   ->setAttributeSetFilter($setIds)
   ->addStoreLabel(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
   ->setOrder('position', 'ASC')
   ->addIsFilterableFilter();
   ->addFieldToFilter('additional_table.used_in_product_listing', array('gt' => 0));

Then you can loop over the ones from the losting, remove them all with $collection->removeAttributeToSelect() and afterwards you add all the filterable attributes.

But I recommend the first idea, then you don't have to code.

Magento – How to change Magento’s default page template for the product description page

This question has been asked before several times, I think this link might help you.

It comes down to adding the <setTemplate> tag to the root of the page in the layout xml

It should look something like this:

<catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-left.phtml</template></action>
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>
