magento admin中自定义属性和管理属性的混淆

Question

I am totally confused in attributes please help me. I am continuously doing this attributes task for 3 days but no output from my side.

Here is a screen shot:-

Here Admin Panel:-

NOw this I want grey and pink value in my product list page.C:\wamp\www\magento\app\design\frontend\base\default\template\catalog\product\list.phtml

means the value of custom attributes in my product list page. please help me how should I get that value.....

Using Manage attributes/attributes set i got the value:

$size= $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('size')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product) ;//this are simple attributes
$color= $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('color1')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product) ;//this is simple attributes

See this is my configurable product :- http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/672/6732454339.jpg

I think you need to create "configurable products" to be able to do what you want. Example will allow you to create a clothes product with different colour variants:

1. Create a new attribute "Colour" in "Manage Attributes" and add your colours
2. Create a new attribute set "Clothes" in "Manage Attribute Sets"
3. Add your Colour Attribute to the Attribute set
4. Create a new Product on "Manage Products"
   • Select your "Attribute set" (Clothes)
   • "Product Type" is "Configurable Product"
5. Once you completed the product details save your product and go back to edit it again.
6. Click the last Tab "Associated products" and using the "Quick simple product creation" tool, create the colour variations.
7. Save, reindex and check your product on the frontend.

You should not need to edit any code. I hope this helps!
