This is older version of Magento,
For Magento Version 2.0.*
Set category attribute like below,
app/code/Vendor/Categoryattr/Setup/InstallData.php
file,
<?php
/**
* Copyright © 2015 Magento. All rights reserved.
* See COPYING.txt for license details.
*/
namespace Vendor\CategoryAttribute\Setup;
use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup;
use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
private $eavSetupFactory;
/**
* Init
*
* @param EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory
*/
public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory)
{
$this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
* @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.ExcessiveMethodLength)
*/
public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
/** @var EavSetup $eavSetup */
$eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
/**
* Add attributes to the eav/attribute
*/
$eavSetup->addAttribute(
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY,
'custom_attribute',
[
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Custom Attribute Description',
'input' => 'textarea',
'required' => false,
'sort_order' => 100,
'global' => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
'group' => 'General Information',
'is_used_in_grid' => true,
'is_visible_in_grid' => false,
'is_filterable_in_grid' => true,
]
);
}
}
remove var/generation
folder and run command,
php bin/magento setup:upgrade to working inside category.
Magento2.1, all attribute load via UI_Component. So you need to assign as a form element following way:
Create Vendor/Module/view/adminhtml/ui_component/category_form.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">
<fieldset name="display_settings">
<field name="customattribute">
<argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
<item name="config" xsi:type="array">
<item name="class" xsi:type="string">Magento\Catalog\Ui\Component\Category\Form\Element\Wysiwyg</item>
<item name="formElement" xsi:type="string">wysiwyg</item>
<item name="wysiwygConfigData" xsi:type="array">
<item name="settings" xsi:type="array">

We need to identify the id of category tree root. Then, we created an instance of the category, set its
path
,parent_id
,name
, etc.
