Magento – Get attribute_code or attribute_id in layered catalog\layer\view.phtml

layered-navigation

I used a Layered Navigation SEO to make my layered navigation to have a multiselect on filter and AJAX updater result and layered navigation. Every filter in layered navigation is in Bootstrap 3 collapse. The problem is that when user extend a filter and select something, layered navigation is reloaded by AJAX request and every field is collapsed, witch is annoying.

I want to make some customization on that and add to each filter some unique HTML attribute like data-attribute-code and add some info about witch collapse are extend, so I can set then to be extended when layered navigation is reloaded.
Current problem that i have is that i can get only the name of the filter with $_filter->getName() witch is not good to use like identification for filter. But when i try to get a attribute code or id i get empty stings. I try with this code

$_filter->getId();
$_filter->getCode();
$_filter->getAttributeId();
$_filter->getAttributeCode();

If someone can help me and show how to get attribute ID or Code i will be very thankful.

This will give the attribute code:

$_filter->getRequestVar();

You can get attribute id by using the following:

// $attributeCode = YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_CODE; 
// In your case it will be as below:
$attributeCode = $_filter->getRequestVar();

$attributeInfo = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_collection')
                ->setCodeFilter($attributeCode)
                ->getFirstItem();

$attributeId = $attributeInfo->getAttributeId();

Magento – layered navigation for custom product collection on custom page

Mohammad found an answer on StackOverflow which has since been deleted. Here is that answer:

Finally I found the solution for custom Layered navigation for custom product collection. Here are the changes what I have did to sort-out this issue.

1. Created one custom module for custom page. My custom page URL was http://{magento_root}/onsale

2. Set below Layout XML file for my custom page layout (onsale is my custom attribute)

<onsale_index_index translate="label">
    <reference name="left">
       <block type="onsale/layer_view" name="customlayer" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
    </reference>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="core/template" name="category.products" template="onsale/category/view.phtml">
            <block type="onsale/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">

                <block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
                    <block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
                </block>
                <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>empty</layout><count>6</count></action>
                <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>one_column</layout><count>5</count></action>
                <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_left</layout><count>4</count></action>
                <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_right</layout><count>4</count></action>
                <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>three_columns</layout><count>3</count></action>
                <action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
            </block>
        </block>
    </reference>
</onsale_index_index>

3. In onsale/category/view.phtml I have just set page title & called product listing $this->getChildHtml('product_list');.

4. Now I have three block file, a) onsale, b) product_list, c) layer_view.

a) Mymodule_Onsale_Block_Onsale extends Mage_Core_Block_Template and it has just two method one for _prepareLayout & for _prepareLayout.

b) Mymodule_Onsale_Block_Product_List extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List and it has just one method which is as below:

protected function _getProductCollection()
{  

   if (is_null($this->_productCollection)) 
    {
        $layer = $this->getLayer();
        $productCollection = $layer->getProductCollection();
        $this->_productCollection = $productCollection;
    }
    return $this->_productCollection;
}

c) layer_view block has one method getLayer() as below:

public function getLayer()
{
    return Mage::getSingleton('onsale/layer');
}

5. No changes in controller, just call to Layout & Render.

6. Now for model file. I have just one model file for layer with getProductCollection method as below which extend to Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer.

class name Mymodule_Onsale_Model_Layer extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer

  public function getProductCollection()
{

    if (isset($this->_productCollections[$this->getCurrentCategory()->getId()])) {
        $collection = $this->_productCollections[$this->getCurrentCategory()->getId()];
    } else {

        $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addAttributeToSelect('*');
        $collection->addFieldToFilter('on_sale',array('eq'=>'125'));

        $this->prepareProductCollection($collection);
        $this->_productCollections[$this->getCurrentCategory()->getId()] = $collection;
    }
    return $collection;
}

7. One last important, Please set No to Use Flat Catalog Category & Use Flat Catalog Product at System -> configuration -> Catalog -> fontend.

It show me correct product listing with layered navigation.
