Introduction

Magento 2.4.2 offers a wide range of features to enhance the product detail page, making it more engaging and informative for customers. One of the key features that can be added to the product detail page is the "Key Features" section. This section allows you to highlight the most important features of a product, making it easier for customers to make informed purchasing decisions. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adding a "Key Features" section to the product detail page in Magento 2.4.2.

Understanding Product Attributes

Before we dive into adding the "Key Features" section, it's essential to understand how product attributes work in Magento. Product attributes are used to describe the characteristics of a product, such as its color, size, or material. In Magento, product attributes are managed through the "Attributes" section in the admin panel. To add a new attribute, follow these steps:

Step 1: Access the Admin Panel

  1. Log in to your Magento admin panel.
  2. Click on "Stores" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on "Attributes" under the "Settings" section.

Step 2: Create a New Attribute

  1. Click on the "Add New Attribute" button.
  2. Enter a name for the attribute, such as "Key Features".
  3. Select the attribute type, such as "Text" or "Multiselect".
  4. Click on the "Save Attribute" button.

Adding the Key Features Attribute

Now that we have created the "Key Features" attribute, we need to add it to the product detail page. To do this, we will create a new attribute set and add the "Key Features" attribute to it.

Step 1: Create a New Attribute Set

  1. Click on "Stores" in the left-hand menu.
  2. Click on "Attribute Sets" under the "Settings" section.
  3. Click on the "Add New Attribute Set" button.
  4. Enter a name for the attribute set, such as "Default".
  5. Click on the "Save Attribute Set" button.

Step 2: Add the Key Features Attribute to the Attribute Set

  1. Click on the "Attribute Set" you created in the previous step.
  2. Click on the "Add Attribute" button.
  3. Select the "Key Features" attribute from the list of available attributes.
  4. Click on the "Save Attribute" button.

Displaying the Key Features on the Product Detail Page

Now that we have added the "Key Features" attribute to the product detail page, we need to display it on the page. To do this, we will create a new layout file and add the necessary code to display the attribute.

Step 1: Create a New Layout File

  1. Create a new file in the app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[Theme]/layout directory, such as product_detail.xml.
  2. Add the following code to the file:
<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_layout.xsd">
    <updateHandle name="product_detail"/>
    <moveElement name="product.info.main" after="product.info.details"/>
    <moveElement name="product.info.details" after="product.info.main"/>
    <moveElement name="product.info.media" after="product.info.details"/>
    <moveElement name="product.info.price" after="product.info.media"/>
    <moveElement name="product.info.reviews" after="product.info.price"/>
    <moveElement name="product.info.description" after="product.info.reviews"/>
    <moveElement name="product.info.key_features" after="product.info.description"/>
</layout>

Step 2: Add the Key Features Block to the Product Detail Page

  1. Create a new file in the app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[Theme]/template/product directory, such as product_detail.phtml.
  2. Add the following code to the file:
<?php
$_product = $this->getProduct();
$_keyFeatures = $_product->getAttributes('key_features');
?>

<div class="product-info-key-features">
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($_keyFeatures as $_feature): ?>
<li><?php echo $_feature->getValue(); ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>

Step 3: Add the Key Features Block to the Product Detail Page Layout

  1. Open the product_detail.xml file you created in the previous step.
  2. Add the following code to the file:
<block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View" name="product.info.key_features" as="key_features">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="template" value="product/product/key_features.phtml"/>
    </arguments>
</block>
