Load product by attribute in magento

Posted by navaneeth on Jan 23, 2014 in Magento |

While generally we load a product in Magento by its id, it is also possible to load product by attribute in magento. To do that use the following code –

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->loadByAttribute('attribute_name', $attribute_value);

Just replace ‘attribute_name’ with the name of the attribute and $attribute_valuewith the value and then Magento will return the matching products.

Sometimes when using EDI(Electronic data interchange) we need to update the product attributes in magento
For example EDI846 which deals with product stock
So how can we do this lets see
First of all we need to process the edi files and get the sku and qty from it
and rest of them is as shown below in the code snippet

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->loadByAttribute('sku', $sku);
$productId = $product->getId();
$stockItem =Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')->loadByProduct($productId);
$stockItemId = $stockItem->getId();
$stockItem->setData('is_in_stock', 1);
$stockItem->setData('qty', (integer)$qty);
$stockItem->save();

So with not much effort we can update products stock by code in magento
