List all options from a form (select, checkboxes)
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
Everything seems to be linked to a Collection (CollectionAttributeKey for instance), and simply getting all the values from a custom attribute is proving to be challenging.
Is there a method that would list the options of an attribute, which I could manipulate?
This is the only way I found so far :
You can then render your object. Thing is, if nothing is selected, it returns the boolean false (because the collection doesn't have it).
I would like to alter it in some way, not pass it directly to the form Helper. Even better, only have an object w/ all the options available.
Any ideas?

$cAttributes = CollectionAttributeKey::getList(); foreach($cAttributes as $key => $attrValue) { if($attrValue->getAttributeKeyHandle() == 'my_attribute') { $myObject = $c->getAttributeValueObject($attrValue); } } $attrValue->render('form', $myObject);

Do you tried using getDisplayValue?
Well, as you can see, it would only return the selected options, not all the options, so that won't do, thanks though
public function getDisplayValue() { $list = $this->getSelectedOptions(); $html = ''; foreach($list as $l) { $html .= $l . '<br/>'; } return $html; }
Can you try getOptions() instead?
That's what I'm trying, but can't seem to figure out how it's been called.
At this point I know getOptions() is being called, by the render() method. I'd like to call it *before*.
How do you instantiate that SelectAttributeTypeController class w/o calling the collection?
Loader::model('attribute/types/select/controller'); $attrValue->render('form', $myObject);

Ah, got it. Try something like this:
that will give you an array named $opts where the keys are all the select attribute option IDs, and the values are the text values.
$ak = CollectionAttributeKey::getByHandle('your_attribute_handle'); $akc = $ak->getController(); $options = $akc->getOptions(); $opts = array(); foreach($options as $opt) { $opts[$opt->getSelectAttributeOptionID()] = $opt->getSelectAttributeOptionValue(); }

sweet, Thanks Andrew!
Thank you just what I was after, #HelpfulThread
i put the following code on a page type:
<?php
$ak = CollectionAttributeKey::getByHandle('city');
$akc = $ak->getController();
$options = $akc->getOptions();
$opts = array();
foreach($options as $opt) {
$opts[$opt->getSelectAttributeOptionID()] = $opt->getSelectAttributeOptionValue();
}
?>
i get error: Fatal error: Call to a member function getController() on a non-object in /home/yossi/public_html/themes/real_estate_template/properties.php on line 44
line 44: $akc = $ak->getController();
does anyone know what my problem is ? , do i need to include some controller or something?

It suggests that it was not able to get the attribute, is the attributes handle 'city'? and is the attribute a page attribute? not a file/user
your right the attribute was not called city,
sorry my mistake .
thanks a lot. Aryeh
