How to get custom attribute value in Magento

Display custom attribute value in Magento

When we get custom attribute value in Magento through simple way like:

<?php 

echo $_product->getAttributeText('custom_attribute_code');

?>

Then we will get a fatal error (as following) , if the custom attribute is not already added. 

" Fatal error: Call to a member function getSource() on a non-object in ...\app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Model\Product.php on line 1388"

So we will use following code for get custom attribute value in Magento.

The following code will first check that the custom attribute are added or not in admin. If custom attribute are added then get its value.

<?php 

$attribute = $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('custom_attribute_code');

         if ($attribute)

          {

               echo $attribute_value = $attribute ->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);

          }

?>
