Hello,

How would you recommend creating a new root category using Mage::getModel('catalog/category')?

Thank you,

really helpful man! The only thing I cant figure out is why they dont allow you to gather a products type via getData(‘type’);

@Mohit

There are number of articles and even some extensions you can download from this site that should cover your question.

Hi..

$cModelData = $cModel->getData();
echo $cModelData->sku;

This code isnt working. It should be following….

$cModelData = $cModel->getData();
echo $cModelData['sku'];

Because $cModel->getData() is returning array, it need to be accessed as an array element. Arrow operator here will give error.

Thanks for quick reply. One another thing I am wondering is that how magento is storing the entities values in database. I have created my own module and I have also created few attributes related to my entity_set. And I am also able to create dynamically as per magento database. Please have a look to this thread:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/41408/
So if you can guide me than it will really help me to understand magento to great extent. One more thing, we can filter collection by attribute and if I want to filter my collection with field then how can I do this. Thanks in advance brother to guide me.
