Accessing custom attribute on success.phtml - php

Question

I have a custom attribute which i created to track the profit of each item.
For analytical purposes, I need to add this to a variable in JS and append it to a url string.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get access to the attribute and every time I try to echo the value, it returns null.
Here is the code;
$orderObj = Mage::getModel(’sales/order’)->loadByIncrementId($this->getOrderId());
$orderItems = $orderObj->getAllItems();
$basket = ‘’;
$mail_body = ‘’;
foreach($orderItems as $item)
{
$basket .= $item->getSku() .’|’. number_format($item->getRowTotal(), 2, ‘.’, ‘,’) .’|’. round($item->getQtyOrdered()) . ‘,’;
}
foreach($orderItems as $item) {
$product_item = Mage::getModel(’catalog/product’)->load($this->getProductId());
$mail_body .= $product_item->getAttributeText(’profit’);
$mail_body .= “---\n\n”;
}
the main code which I am trying to get to work is in the foreach.
Any ideas why this does’nt return a value?

Answer 1

Try
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($this->getOrderId());
$items = $order->getItemsCollection();
foreach($items as $item){
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($item->getProductId());
echo $product->getAttributeText('profit');
}

Answer 2

$custom = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($item->getProductId());
echo $custom->getAttributeText('profit');
OR
This is the working solution, it's so simple, yet I don't understand:
<?php
$custom = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item->getProductId());
echo $custom->getAttributeText('profit');
?>
hope this will sure help you.
