Hello I want to insert new manufacturer which is an attribute.
I use this code but it doesn't work:
$manu = 'MyManu';
$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute')->loadByCode('catalog_product', 'manufacturer');
//for each store insert the manufacturer name
$attribute->setData( 'option', array( $manu, $manu, $manu,$manu, $manu, $manu, 0) );
$attribute->save();
//find the manufacturer created
$manufacturerid = null;
$valuesCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_option_collection')
->setAttributeFilter($attribute->getData('attribute_id'))
->setStoreFilter(0, false);
foreach($valuesCollection as $value) {
if ( $value->getValue() == $manu ) {
$manufacturerid = $value->getOptionId();
break;
}
}
echo $manufactureid.'<br />';
