Question

can someone please tell me how to check if an attribute has been created?

I have a block which displays products based on a given attribute.
The thing is if the attribute has not been created, I’m getting an error on the frontend.

Is there a way to check if the attribute exists?

Thanks.

Answer 1

$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'attribute_id');

Try above code which means check the status that is specified attribute available in magento ( if you know the id ).
