Question

I’ve created a new attribute set from “Default” attribute set.But the media_gallery attribute is missing in the new attribute set.So the image uploader is not showing in product edit section.How do I add that system attribute to the set?

Answer 1

This is at least strange. I would suggest trying to re-create an attribute set based on “Default” to check if the problem will happen again.

In any ways, if you want to add a media_gallery attribute to your existing attribute set you have to add a record to eav_entity_attribute table, where relation of EAV entity to attribute set and group is stored:

INSERT INTO eav_entity_attribute 
        SET entity_type_id = 4,
            attribute_set_id = [YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_SET_ID],
            attribute_group_id = [YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_GROUP_ID],
            attribute_id = [ID_OF_YOUR_MEDIA_GALLERY_ATTRIBUTE by default 82],
            sort_order = 4

• The ID_OF_YOUR_MEDIA_GALLERY_ATTRIBUTE can be found in eav_attribute table using the following query:

  SELECT attribute_id FROM eav_attribute WHERE attribute_code = 'media_gallery'
  

• The YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_SET_ID can be found in eav_attribute_set table using the following query:

  SELECT attribute_set_id FROM eav_attribute_set WHERE attribute_set_name = '[GIVEN_NAME_OF_YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_SET]'
  

• And the YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_GROUP_ID can be found in eav_attribute_group table using the following query:

  SELECT attribute_group_id FROM eav_attribute_group WHERE attribute_set_id = [YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_SET_ID] AND attribute_group_name = 'Images'
