Magento: Get all the values of a Magento EAV for a particular attribute code

If you have ever wondered how to get all the values of any EAV attribute for products in Magento, then this is the workaround for you:

$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'color'); //here, "color" is the attribute_code
$allOptions = $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true, true);
foreach ($allOptions as $instance) {
    $myArray[$instance['value']] = $instance['label'];
}
Mage::log($myArray);

You will get list of all colors in an array called “myArray” in value => label format.

  • Great stuff, thanks. Do you use many Magento extensions? Personally we used some that significantly helped to speed up page response times. It took a few months to get perfect and function to our needs but now it’s rock solid. Saved thousands on server costs by having it in a vps cloud. Thanks, Jim.

  • working for me thanks for your article

  • What if the attribute is not dropdown or multiselect? Let’s think it’s input. How can I get all values?

  • can someone say where is the definition for getAllOptions()? Is it possible to rewrite this method. i was to pass custom filter options which should be independent of any layered navigation plugin. ??
