Magento – Delete System Attribute

If you want to delete an attribute. But there is no delete option while you edit the attribute. This means that the attribute is system attribute. System attributes cannot be deleted. Only user defined attributes can be deleted.

To delete the attribute, you have to make it user defined. Follow the below instructions :

– Go to phpmyadmin
– Select magento database
– Go to eav_attribute table
– Browse table with attribute_code ‘YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_CODE’ OR browse the table with the attribute_id of your attribute (‘your attribute’ means the attribute which you want to remove as system attribute)
– Edit the table row of your attribute
– Find the field ‘is_user_defined’
– Set it to 1

Now your attribute no longer remains System Attribute
Now you can delete it from Attribute manager

Magento – Show Inventory Levels on Product Pages

One of our client needed to display their actual quantity on hand inventory, rather that the normal ‘Availability-In Stock’. on product detail page. For this you need to look on this file.

app/design/frontend/YOURTEMPLATE/default/template/catalog/product/view/type/default.phtml

If you do not have the above in the directory then you should copy that from the base folder and put in custom template. Approach the below code :

<?php if ($_product->isAvailable()): ?>
<?php $quantity1 = intval(Mage::getModel(‘cataloginventory/stock_item’)->loadByProduct($_product)->getQty()); ?>
<div class=”add-to-box”>
<?php if($quantity1 > 0) { ?>
<p class=”availability in-stock”>
<?php echo $this->__(‘Qty on Hand:’) ?>
<?php echo $quantity1;?>
</span>
</p>
<?php } elseif($quantity1 == 0) { ?>
<p class=”availability in-stock”>
<?php echo $this->__(‘Qty on Hand:’) ?><br/><br/><span>
<?php foreach ($_product->getTypeInstance(true)->getUsedProducts ( null, $_product) as $simple) {
$stock = intval(Mage::getModel(‘cataloginventory/stock_item’)->loadByProduct($simple)->getQty());
echo $simple->getName().” “.$simple->getSize().” have a stock of $stock”;
echo ‘<br/>’;
} ?></span>
</p>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php else: ?>
<p class=”availability out-of-stock”><?php echo $this->__(‘Availability:’) ?> <span><?php echo $this->__(‘Out of stock’) ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

The above code will work for simple and configurable product types.

Display product list on home page in magento

Display product list on home page in magento

To display a product list on the home page in Magento, you can use widgets, layout XML updates, or modify CMS blocks.

One of the simplest methods is to use the Catalog Products List widget.

Navigate to Content > Pages, edit the Home Page, and add the widget to the content section.

Configure it to display specific products or dynamic collections based on categories, bestsellers, or new arrivals. Alternatively, you can customize the homepage layout using XML updates in layout files (home.xml or cms_index_index.xml).

If you need more flexibility, a custom block or module can be created to fetch and display products dynamically using Magento’s \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductRepository and \Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ListProduct classes.

How To Show Page for Particular User Group In Magento

Show Page for Particular User Group In Magento

To show a page for a specific user group in Magento, you need to implement customer group restrictions using layout updates or custom modules.

One effective way is by leveraging Magento’s customer session and layout XML updates. First, identify the customer group using Magento\Customer\Model\Session and apply conditions in your layout XML or CMS page settings.

You can also use Magento ACL (Access Control List) or third-party extensions for more flexibility. For a custom approach, create an observer or a plugin to restrict access based on customer groups and redirect unauthorized users.

This ensures personalized content delivery while maintaining security and user experience.
