How to get an attribute value on cart page?
It’s so easy, just need to make mini extension for add our parameter to the config.xml file or use or use early made extension.

Two steps

  1. Add to config.xml section global
    <global>
        <sales>
            <quote>
                <item>
                    <product_attributes>
                        <brand />
                    </product_attributes>
                </item>
            </quote>
        </sales>
    </global>

where <brand /> namely brand is attribute’s code which we need to add, one or more then by this template like a:

    <global>
        <sales>
            <quote>
                <item>
                    <product_attributes>
                        <custom_atribute_code_1 />
                        ...
                        <custom_atribute_code_N />
                    </product_attributes>
                </item>
            </quote>
        </sales>
    </global>
  1. Get added attribute in cart
	  <td class="product-cart-info">
        <?php $_product = $_item->getProduct(); ?>
        <div class="product-brand-name">
            <?php echo $_product->getBrand(); // for text and etc attributes ?>
            <?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('brand'); // for select/multiselect attribues retiurn an option value  ?>
        </div>
    </td>
