I would very much appreciate your help. I am new to Magento and exploring it's possibilities. I have this piece of code, which loads products from category and their attributes:
<?php
$_productCollection=$this->getLoadedProductCollection();
$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
?>
<?php if(!$_productCollection->count()): ?>
<p class="note-msg"><?php echo $this->__('There are no products matching the selection.') ?></p>
<?php else: ?>
<div class="category-products">
<?php // Grid Mode ?>
<?php $_collectionSize = $_productCollection->count() ?>
<?php $_columnCount = $this->getColumnCount(); ?>
<?php $_iterator = 0; ?>
<ul class="products-grid">
<?php $i=0; foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
<li class="item">
<a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->stripTags($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image'), null, true) ?>" class="product-image"><img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(252); ?>" width="252" height="252" alt="<?php echo $this->stripTags($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image'), null, true) ?>" /></a>
<h3 class="product-name"><a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->stripTags($_product->getName(), null, true) ?>"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name') ?></a></h3>
<h4 class="product-name"><?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('manufacturer') ?></h4>
<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">decorateGeneric($$('ul.products-grid'), ['odd','even','first','last'])</script>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
My question is: why "echo $_product->getAttributeText('manufacturer')" is not working here? I have tried countless variants with different code, but the manufacturer parameter just doesn't show up. Do you know why?
