无法从Magento产品集中获取产品名称

Question

I am simply trying to retrieve a products name as well as other basic information from a product collection in Magento but just get errors or null returned. This is with a view to creating my own featured product block.

I am trying to do this from within the home page (created specifically, rather than using the pre-built 1-column/2-column etc):

app\design\frontend\default\eyt2012\template\page\homepage.phtml

Within my home page, I am loading the collection like so

$category = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Category();
$category->load(236);
$_productCollection = $category->getProductCollection();

Then I am borrowing the code within <ul> from list.phtml , which I know works:

app\design\frontend\default\eyt2012\template\catalog\product\list.phtml

to output all the products in a collection in a nice grid format with images, titles and prices.

Altogether I have so far:

<div class="featured-products">
    Products of the week    

    <?php    
        $category = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Category();
        $category->load(236);
        $_productCollection = $category->getProductCollection();    
    ?>   

        <ul class="products-grid">    

            <?php $_collectionSize = $_productCollection->count() ?>
            <?php $_columnCount = 5 ?>
            <?php 
                $i=0; foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): 
                $i++;
            ?>

                    <li class="item<?php if(($i-1)%$_columnCount==0): ?> first<?php elseif($i%$_columnCount==0): ?> last<?php endif; ?>">

                        1

                        <a 
                        href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" 
                        title="<?php echo $this->stripTags($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image'), null, true) ?>" 
                        class="product-image">
                            <span class="placeholder"></span>
                            <img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(155); ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->stripTags($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image'), null, true) ?>" />
                        </a>

                        2

                        <?php if ($_product->getbrands()):?>
                            <span class="brandname"><?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('brands') ?></span>
                        <?php endif;?>

                        3  ! Code currently gets to here before error occurs


                        <h2 class="product-name"><a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->stripTags($_product->getName(), null, true) ?>"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name') ?></a></h2>

                        4
                        <?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>

                        5

                        <div class="actions">

                            <?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>

                                <button type="button" title="<?php echo $this->__('Add to Cart') ?>" class="button btn-cart" onclick="setLocation('<?php echo $this->getAddToCartUrl($_product) ?>')"><span><span><?php echo $this->__('Add to Cart') ?></span></span></button>

                            <?php else: ?>

                                <p class="availability out-of-stock"><span><?php echo $this->__('Out of stock') ?></span></p>

                            <?php endif; ?>

                        </div>




                    </li>

                <?php endforeach ?>

            </ul>




</div>

which is essentially just the code from list.phtml, except my own product collection is used.

I have put numbers after each block of functionality in the above code to test what is causing the error. Currently it gets to 3 then stops.

Can anyone tell me why the $_product->getName() fails to work, along with the others in that block?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

To get the product name you need to add it to the select:

$_productCollection = $category->getProductCollection()
    ->addAttributeToSelect('name');

Also, if you have provided your code in its entirety then you have not initialised the $_helper variable which will be throwing an error:

$_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output');

Answer 2

try below code it must work :

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
                        ->getCollection()
                        ->addAttributeToSelect('*');

foreach ($collection as $product) {


    echo $product->getName() . "<br />";

    }
