I need to add attribute through a setup script.Attribute properties are working,but the frontend properties are not applied as specified in the setup script.For example, visible_on_front is_html_allowed_on_front not working.

$installer = $this; $installer->startSetup(); $entityType = 'catalog_product'; $attributeCode= 'video'; $data = array( 'label' => 'Video', 'input' => 'textarea', 'type' => 'text', //database input type 'visible' => true, 'required' => false, 'comparable'=> false, 'searchable' => false, 'filterable' => false, 'unique' => false, 'visible_on_front' => true, 'is_html_allowed_on_front' => true, 'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL, 'user_defined' => true, 'apply_to' => '', 'is_configurable' => false, ); $installer->addAttribute($entityType, $attributeCode, $data); $installer->endSetup(); 

Part of config.xml

<config> <modules> <Company_Video> <version>0.1.0</version> </Company_Video> </modules> <global> <resources> <video_read> <connection> <use>core_read</use> </connection> </video_read> <video_write> <connection> <use>core_write</use> </connection> </video_write> <video_setup> <setup> <module>Company_Video</module> <class>Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup</class> </setup> <connection> <use>core_setup</use> </connection> </video_setup> </resources> </global> </config>

I think the installer does not run correctly because you are using the wrong setup class.

In your config.xml try placing the following:

<video_setup> <setup> <module>Company_Video</module> <class>Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup</class> </setup> <connection> <use>core_setup</use> </connection> </video_setup>

    Depending on the magento version I recommend to use Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Setup Commented Feb 21, 2013 at 11:46
