Update:
added this
->addAttributeToSelect(‘condition’)

within

protected function _prepareCollection()
{
$store = $this->_getStore();
$collection = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product’)->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect(‘sku’)
->addAttributeToSelect(‘name’)
->addAttributeToSelect(‘condition’)

works great now

Changed from manufacturer to condition for what I needed. Worked great in adding the column and showing the options in the dropdown menu (new, used). Unfortunately it only shows in the column near a product if I select New or Used from dropdown, if I don’t select from dropdown all columns stay blank. Does something also need to be added to by default show the option selected in each row?

Here’s what I added:

$condition_items = Mage::getModel(‘eav/entity_attribute_option’)->getCollection()->setStoreFilter()->join(‘attribute’,'attribute.attribute_id=main_table.attribute_id’, ‘attribute_code’);
foreach ($condition_items as $condition_item) :
if ($condition_item->getAttributeCode() == ‘condition’)
$condition_options[$condition_item->getOptionId()] = $condition_item->getValue();
endforeach;

$this->addColumn(‘condition’,
array(
‘header’=> Mage::helper(‘catalog’)->__(‘Condition’),
‘width’ => ’70px’,
‘index’ => ‘condition’,
‘type’ => ‘options’,
‘options’ => $condition_options
));

Thanks for any help!

Could you do this for ‘cost’ price and how would you do it?

i did try to add a custom attribute to the grid but the column stays blank…

does the attribute needs specific setting maybe?

$page_items = Mage::getModel(‘eav/entity_attribute_option’)->getCollection()->setStoreFilter()->join(‘attribute’,'attribute.attribute_id=main_table.attribute_id’, ‘attribute_code’);
foreach ($page_items as $page_item) :
if ($page_item->getAttributeCode() == ‘page’)
$page_options[$page_item->getOptionId()] = $page_item->getValue();
endforeach;

$this->addColumn(‘page’,
array(
‘header’=> Mage::helper(‘catalog’)->__(‘Page’),
‘width’ => ’10px’,
‘type’ => ‘options’,
‘index’ => ‘page’,
‘options’ => $page_options
));

fair – I haven’t even needed to try it on 1.4.1 yet. Try it out. It won’t take long to test it.

kurt,

Well, if you follow the instructions quick and do it on your own installation of Magento, you would be able to.
