Magento – Get Attribute Option Position from Option value

attribute-optionsattributesmagento-1.7

I have a dropdown attribute with many options.

In cart.phtml I already get the attribute value for each item

Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item->getProduct()->getId())->getMyAttribute();

In addition to that I want to get the option position.

How can I do that without loading all Attribute options.

Assuming you have $optionId ( that's the value you get when calling $product->getData('your_attribute') ), you can get the position (sort_order) this way

$options = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_option_collection')
    ->setIdFilter($optionId);

This will return a simple object, something like...

Array
(
    [option_id] => 624
    [attribute_id] => 298
    [sort_order] => 0
)

Check Mage_Eav_Model_Resource_Entity_Attribute_Option_Collection for more details

Everything was simpler than I thought, as shoes_model is text-based attribute, I should get it like so:

$_product->getShoesModel();

or like so:

$_product->getData('shoes_model');

To answer the question:

Thanks to some handy built-in methods you don't have to do any loading on your own:

Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Shipment_Item provides getOrderItem
Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Item provides getProduct

So, all you should have to do is this:

$product = $shipmentItem->getOrderItem()->getProduct();

If size is persisted to the order item, you can do:

$item = $shipmentItem->getOrderItem();
echo $item->getAttributeText('size');

Or, if you need to load the ID value from the product itself, you can get all of the product's selected ID values:

$size = $shipmentItem->getOrderItem()->getProduct()->getSize();
