Attribute Transformer

Why?

Custom created attributes in backend such as media fields, gives only the id to the template. Which is not useable for Theme Developers. This plugin transforms given attributes automaticly to media elements or gathering data using model.

Before

array (size=37)
  'id' => int 5
  'parentId' => int 3
  'name' => string 'Genusswelten' (length=12)
  'changed' => null
  'added' => null
  'attribute' => 
    array (size=10)
      'id' => string '3' (length=1)
      'categoryID' => string '5' (length=1)
      'attribute1' => string '' (length=0)
      'attribute2' => string '' (length=0)
      'attribute3' => string '' (length=0)
      'attribute4' => string '' (length=0)
      'attribute5' => string '' (length=0)
      'attribute6' => string '' (length=0)
      'categoryManufacturers' => string '|1|2|3|4|' (length=9)
