Magento 1.7/1.8 – How to Load Multiselect Attribute Values for Current Product

magento-1.7magento-1.8

I have problem when I try to load multiselect values for product. I have:

$product->getSportTypes()

But these can give me only "sport type" Ids, not and names. How to get names?

I suppose you want to display the value of the multiselect attribute named sport_types in the frontend. To do so you need to follow below steps:

$sportTypes = explode(",",$_product->getResource()
->getAttribute('sport_types')->getFrontend()
->getValue($_product));

foreach($sportTypes as $key => $value){
        echo $value;
    }

Magento 1.7 – addFieldToFilter Not Returning Attribute Values

First of all use addAttributeToFilter instead of addFieldToFilter. It's cleaner that way.
And retrieve your product like this:

$mageProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
            ->getCollection()
            ->addAttributeToSelect('remote_image_link')
            ->addAttributeToFilter('sku',"1234")->getFirstItem();

When getting a collection not all attributes are added to the collection. You need to add manually the attributes you need.
If for some reason that doesn't work, set the attribute remote_image_link to be Used in product listing.

Magento – How to Delete attribute VALUES

Your attributes are being filtered out by array_filter() in Mage_ImportExport_Model_Import_Entity_Product::_filterRowData()

Empty rows would be filtered out again in Mage_ImportExport_Model_Import_Entity_Product_Type_Abstract::prepareAttributesForSave() during Mage_ImportExport_Model_Import_Entity_Product::_saveProducts()

It therefore looks like the importer isn't built to handle this.
