adding a new attribute value
Permalink
Hi,
I may be mixing the names of attribute things here so bare with me please.
I am trying to give an attribute a value using php really. the attribute is created already from the dashboard and all I would like to do is add a value.
been looking thought the docs and forums and can't really find a simple solution to this. I may be missing something.
hopefully someone can enlighten me lol
I should mention it is a user attribute. however I don't simply want to give the user an attribute I want to add a value that can be given to the user.
hopefully this make sense
Thanks

What type of user attribute? Text, checkbox, etc?
select, I just ended up making a model to add a value
was hoping there was an easier way like
was hoping there was an easier way like
$att = $ui->getAttribute('att_handle'); $att->addValue('newValue');
I just did this yesterday to set a select page attribute for a package I'm building. From within a block view do:
$cobject = $this->getCollectionObject();
$cobject->setAttribute('attribute_handle', 'value');
$cobject = $this->getCollectionObject();
$cobject->setAttribute('attribute_handle', 'value');
