Adding Custom Options to a Product in Magento
Adding custom option in Magento is pretty easy! You just need to know the format of an array, which is taken by catalog/product_option Model to set the custom option. I’ve deviced a simple function (setCustomOption) that just does that. The function, according to the input type and values assigned creates an array, which is then used by the catalog/product_option Model to save the option to the product.
Here is the function.
[source language=”php”]
/**
* @param $value - Must be comma seperated options.
* @param $title - Title of the custom option.
* @param $type - Type of custom option - drop_down,radio,checkbox,multiple,area,field.
* @param $noOption - Specifies if the custom options has options or not.
*/
function setCustomOption ($value, $title, $type, $noOption = false)
{
$custom_options = array();
if ($type && $value != “” && $value) {
$values = explode(‘,’, $value);
if (count($values)) {
/**If the custom option has options*/
if (! $noOption) {
$is_required = 0;
$sort_order = 0;
$custom_options[] = array(
‘is_delete’ => 0 , ‘title’ => $title , ‘previous_group’ => ” , ‘previous_type’ => ” , ‘type’ => $type , ‘is_require’ => $is_required , ‘sort_order’ => $sort_order , ‘values’ => array()
);
foreach ($values as $v) {
$titleopt = ucfirst(trim($v));
switch ($type) {
case ‘drop_down’:
case ‘radio’:
case ‘checkbox’:
case ‘multiple’:
default:
$title = ucfirst(trim($v));
$custom_options[count($custom_options) - 1][‘values’][] = array(
‘is_delete’ => 0 , ‘title’ => $titleopt , ‘option_type_id’ => - 1 , ‘price_type’ => ” , ‘price’ => ” , ‘sku’ => ” , ‘sort_order’ => ”
);
break;
}
}
return $custom_options;
}
/**If the custom option doesn’t have options | Case: area and field*/
else {
$is_required = 0;
$sort_order = ”;
$custom_options[] = array(
“is_delete” => 0 , “title” => $title , “previous_group” => “text” , “price_type” => ‘fixed’ , “price” => ” , “type” => $type , “is_required” => $is_required
);
return $custom_options;
}
}
}
return false;
}
[/source]
And to save the custom option, first get the array built by the above function and pass it to the catalog/product_option Model’s function to save. Here’s how you do it.
[source language=”php”]
$arrayOption = array();
/**
* For Creating dropdown,select,multiselect,radio type of custom option
*/
$arrayOption[] = setCustomOption(“OPT1,OPT2”, “Select Option”, “drop_down”);
/**
* For Creating textfield and textarea type of custom option
*/
$arrayOption[] = setCustomOption(“Anyvalue”, “Area”, “area”, true);
/**
* Load the product you want to assign custom option to
*/
$product = Mage::getModel(“catalog/product”)->load(167);
foreach ($arrayOption as $options) {
foreach ($options as $option) {
$opt = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product_option’);
$opt->setProduct($product);
$opt->addOption($option);
$opt->saveOptions();
}
}
[/source]
After running the code you will get something like this.
