Magento Adding New Category Attribute Without Creating Module

April 23, 2015 admin New Attribute Leave a comment

For adding extra attribute to category you need to add below script to your magento root folder and execute it from the URL i.e. http://yoururl/add_category_attribute.php

[php]
require_once “app/Mage.php”;

Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage::getModel(‘core/store’)->load(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID));

$installer = new Mage_Sales_Model_Mysql4_Setup;

// change details below:
$attribute = array(
‘type’ => ‘varchar’,
‘label’=> ‘Your attribute label’,
‘input’ => ‘text’,
‘global’ => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
‘visible’ => true,
‘required’ => false,
‘user_defined’ => true,
‘default’ => “”,
‘group’ => “General Information”
);

$installer->addAttribute(‘catalog_category’, ‘your_attribute_code’, $attribute);

$installer->endSetup();
[/php]
