Magento: Add additional product/item attributes in order and invoice emails

Magento provides basic information in the default email templates, but each store has their unique requirement to show additional information.
I will show you how to add extra product attribute values, along with order item options and custom options in order emails and invoice emails.
Here is the code that should work for order and invoice emails to get additional PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES displayed:

$productId = $_item->getProduct()->getId(); //for order emails //$productId = $_item->getProductId(); //for invoice emails $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId); $attributes = $product->getAttributes(); //Get a list of all PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES you want to show in this array... $dispAttribs = array('hardrive', 'memory', 'processor'); foreach ($attributes as $attribute) { $attributeCode = $attribute->getAttributeCode(); if(!in_array($attributeCode, $dispAttribs)) continue; $label = $attribute->getFrontend()->getLabel($product); $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($product); echo "<br /><strong>" . $label . ":</strong> " . $value; }

For displaying CUSTOM OPTIONS and/or ITEM OPTIONS from the item, use this:

foreach($this->getItemOptions() as $opt) { if(isset($opt['option_id'])) { //for CUSTOM OPTIONS echo "<strong>" . $opt['label'] . ":</strong> ". $opt['option_value'] . "<br />"; } else { //for ITEM OPTIONS echo "<strong>" . $opt['label'] . ":</strong> ". $opt['value'] . "<br />"; } }

For adding code to ORDER emails, the file where the code should go is:
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/email/order/items/order/default.phtml
For adding code to INVOICE emails, the file where the code should go is:
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/email/order/items/invoice/default.phtml
Instead of base/default, you can put it in your custom theme location which is obvious.

example:

<?php

$productId = $_item->getProduct()->getId(); //for order emails

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);

$attributes = $product->getAttributes();

$dispAttribs = array('author', 'publishers', 'publication_year', 'language', 'isbn10', 'isbn13');

foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {   

        $attributeCode = $attribute->getAttributeCode();

        if(!in_array($attributeCode, $dispAttribs)) continue;

        $label = $attribute->getFrontend()->getLabel($product);

        $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($product);

    if($value!='')

    {

        echo "<p><strong>" . $label . ":</strong> " . $value."</p>";

    }

}

?>
