21st September 2017 SheldonNo Comments

This code snippet shows how to change attribute scope in a setup script:

<?php
/* @var $oInstaller Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Setup */
$oInstaller = $this;

$oInstaller->startSetup();

$oInstaller->updateAttribute(
    'catalog_product', 'abc_attribute', 'is_global',
    Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE
);
$oInstaller->updateAttribute(
    'catalog_product', 'xyz_attribute', 'is_global',
    Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE
);

$oInstaller->endSetup();

// mark index as "reindex required"
$aIndexerCodes = [
    'catalog_product_attribute',
    'catalog_product_flat',
    'catalogsearch_fulltext'
];

$oIndexer = Mage::getModel('index/process');
foreach ($aIndexerCodes as $sCode) {
    $oIndexer->load($sCode, 'indexer_code')
        ->changeStatus(Mage_Index_Model_Process::STATUS_REQUIRE_REINDEX);
}

//clear EAV Cache:
$oInstaller->cleanCache();

<?php

/* @var $oInstaller Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Setup */

$oInstaller = $this;

$oInstaller->startSetup();

$oInstaller->updateAttribute(

'catalog_product', 'abc_attribute', 'is_global',

Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE

);

$oInstaller->updateAttribute(

'catalog_product', 'xyz_attribute', 'is_global',

Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE

);

$oInstaller->endSetup();

// mark index as "reindex required"

$aIndexerCodes = [

'catalog_product_attribute',

'catalog_product_flat',

'catalogsearch_fulltext'

];

$oIndexer = Mage::getModel('index/process');

foreach ($aIndexerCodes as $sCode) {

$oIndexer->load($sCode, 'indexer_code')

->changeStatus(Mage_Index_Model_Process::STATUS_REQUIRE_REINDEX);

}

//clear EAV Cache:

$oInstaller->cleanCache();
