Thanks for providing this.
I noticed that if I had an attribute with ‘multiple select’ and in the admin only one option was selected it didn’t display the array.

I’ve expanded the code in that scenario: [EDIT: Sorry, the code didn't come through right...]

Why difficult? For retrieve attributes from category page here is the code:
$_product->getResource()->getAttribute('vehicle_type')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product)

vehicle_type is the attribute code

RBusiness – it appears that your code didn’t fully come through. I’ll email you, and if you could send me a pastebin of the code and let me know what type of attribute it is, I’ll try to help.

I know this keeps getting rehashed but I’m not getting any results by using the code! I have everything set correctly from what I can tell.

Modern Theme
Magento 1.4.1.0
Cache OFF
Attribute is set to display on product page!

The attribute actually shows up in the TAB where it should. But I can’t get the data to repeat. I’ve got php skills too! It’s burning me here…

My attribute is “bsc_brand_nm” I’m using…

getBscBrandNm() ?>

Anyone see an error that my eyes are blurring on?

OH got it!

Note to self (and others):

$categoryFull = Mage::getModel(“catalog/category”)->load($this->getCurrentCategory()->getId());
$attributes = $categoryFull->getAttributes();
echo $attributes['your_custom_attribute']->getFrontend()->getValue($categoryFull);

This will get values of custom attributes for categories!

Any idea why this wont work on catelog->category->view.pthml when trying to call out category attributes? As I stated above, getAttributeText(‘my_attribute’) for category drop downs or multi-select wont work on category level..

Very frustrating.
