Your block should extend from product list
I believe.
<?php
// app/code/local/Compx/Brandproducts/Block/Recentproducts.php
class Compx_Brandproducts_Block_Brandproducts
extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List{
//extends Mage_Core_Block_Template {
public function getBrandProducts() {
// call model to fetch data
$arr_products = array();
$products = Mage::getModel("brandproducts/brandproducts")->getBrandProducts();
foreach ($products as $product) {
$arr_products[] = array(
'id' => $productÂ>getId(),
'name' => $product->getName(),
'url' => $product->getProductUrl(),
);
}
return $arr_products;
}
}
?>
And your model
file
<?php
// app/code/local/Compx/Brandproducts/Model/Brandproducts.php
class Compx_Brandproducts_Model_Brandproducts
extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Abstract{
//extends Mage_Core_Model_Abstract {
public function getBrandProducts() {
$products = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->getCollection();
$products->addAttributeToSelect('*')
//->setOrder('entity_id', 'DESC')
->setPageSize(5);
return $products;
}
}
?>
(1) first create a new module with a custom eav for your product content (this is just the InstallData.php
content):
<?php namespace <vendor>\<module_name>\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;
/**
* @codeCoverageIgnore
*/
class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
/**
* EAV setup factory
*
* @var EavSetupFactory
*/
private $eavSetupFactory;
/**
* Init
*
* @param EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory
*/
public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory)
{
$this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
/* assign object to class global variable for use in other class methods */
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
* @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.ExcessiveMethodLength)
*/
public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
$setup->startSetup();
/** @var EavSetup $eavSetup */
$eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
/**
* Add attributes to the eav/attribute
*/
$eavSetup->addAttribute(
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY,
'my_attribute',
[
'type' => 'text',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'my custom content',
'input' => 'textarea',
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => 1,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => true,
'default' => 0,
'searchable' => false,
'filterable' => false,
'comparable' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'used_in_product_listing' => true,
'wysiwyg_enabled' => true, // if you want a wysiwyg editor
'unique' => false,
'apply_to' => 'simple,configurable,virtual,bundle,downloadable,grouped',
'group' => 'General'
]
);
$setup->endSetup();
}
}
(2) in the module extend catalog_product_view.xml
to insert your attribute:
[I added mine as a new product tab]
<referenceBlock name="product.info.details">
<block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Description" name="{SOME_NAME}" template="product/view/attribute.phtml" group="detailed_info">
<arguments>
<argument name="at_call" xsi:type="string">getMyAttribute</argument>
<argument name="at_code" xsi:type="string">my_attribute</argument>
<argument name="css_class" xsi:type="string">{some class if you like}</argument>
<argument name="at_label" xsi:type="string">none</argument>
<argument name="title" translate="true" xsi:type="string">My tab label</argument>
</arguments>
</block>
</referenceBlock>
(3) now you can go to your magento admin and insert custom content (even html) into the attribute content like for every other attribute
Best Answer
use above code in phtml file:-
