Using Magento 1.5.1.0 I found that the following needs to be added to the above scripts:

$product->setCanSaveCustomOptions(true);
$product->save();

Thanks for the reply. But it did not work for me. may be I put the second code snippet in the wrong place. If you can please tell me where to put the below code.

$arrayOption = array();
/**
* For Creating dropdown,select,multiselect,radio type of custom option
*/
$arrayOption[] = setCustomOption(“OPT1,OPT2″, “Select Option”, “drop_down”);
/**
* For Creating textfield and textarea type of custom option
*/
$arrayOption[] = setCustomOption(“Anyvalue”, “Area”, “area”, true);
/**
* Load the product you want to assign custom option to
*/
$product = Mage::getModel(“catalog/product”)->load(167);
foreach ($arrayOption as $options) {
foreach ($options as $option) {
$opt = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product_option’);
$opt->setProduct($product);
$opt->addOption($option);
$opt->saveOptions();
}
}

Thanks,

Easiest method is to add code on class Mage_Catalog_Model_Convert_Adapter_Product, path would be app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Convert/Adapter/Product.php. But this is not recommended, please create a module that extends this class and add this code there.

You can add this function on core files as well but it is a better practice to make your own module and add these codes.

For those who can’t see the custom options in product backend :

instead of using this code :

$product = Mage::getModel(“catalog/product”)->load(167);
foreach ($arrayOption as $options) {
foreach ($options as $option) {
$opt = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product_option’);
$opt->setProduct($product);
$opt->addOption($option);
$opt->saveOptions();
}
}

use (works in Product API in Magento 1.4.1.0)

$product = Mage::getModel(“catalog/product”)->load(167);
$product->setProductOptions($arrayOptions);
// This method set ‘has_options’ = 1 to the product
$product->save();

Hope this can help !
