Question

I am trying to include a custom image attribute in list.phtml.
The attribute is included in the product collection using the addAttribute method in catalog.xml:

<action method="addAttribute"><code>hover_image</code></action>

If I try $_product->getHoverImage, I get the url fine.
But when I try to resize the image using:

 $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'hover_image')->resize(240,186)

It doesn’t work, I receive a error “Image file was not found.”

Answer 1

I managed to get it to work with a simple if statement:

<?php if($_product->getHoverImage()): ?>
<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product,'hover_image')->resize(240,186); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
