i wrote custom code to assign attribute to product , issue is with dropdown attribute say color with values : red , green , yellow
not i want to set value of color to be red so i used code below
$product->setColor('red')
but it does not works as i neet to put id instead of vlaue , but i do not want to put id , can anyone help in this case
Try this
<?php
//Possible color value
$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'color'); //"color" is the attribute_code
$allOptions = $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true, true);
foreach ($allOptions as $instance) {
$id = $instance['value']; //id of the option
$value = $instance['label']; //Label of the option
}
?>
it will display your Label and ID
