I added a custom attribute in the products table:
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'custom_attribute', array(
'group' => 'General',
'type' => Varien_Db_Ddl_Table::TYPE_VARCHAR,
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'Custom Attribute',
'input' => 'text',
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => true,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => true,
'filterable' => true,
'comparable' => true,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'unique' => false,
'apply_to' => 'simple,configurable,virtual',
'is_configurable' => false
));
It shows up correctly in the general
tab of the product edit screen.
I should have created a new custom tab for this attribute.
How can I change it so it shows up in a new custom tab?
