Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by nanos on December 19 2009

I have the following situation: For our online-bookshop I have created an attribute called author. Now, I would like to be able to have a link on any product-page. E.g. on the product-page of a book by J.N. Darby I want to have the author’s name converted to a link to the advanced search result page, for author J.N. Darby.

The problem is that I need the ID for the option to achieve that. I know, how to get the option value via getAttributeText(’author’), but how do I get the corresponding ID?

Can anybody help me with that?
