Magento offers backend admin grid to Manage products and other backend services by using various columns that display detailed information like customer id, order name, and other details. But it becomes more difficult to identify the product from product id when there are thousands of products are in a store. Recently, while working with Magento backend Grid we came out with a requirement to display product name instead of product id column. After spending some time on coding, we pop out with a code that we would likely to share with you.
Firstly, you need to add your column in ‘Grid.php’ file available on the following location.
Vendor\Extension\adminhtml\Extension\Grid.php
Your Column name
$this->addColumn('order_items', array(
'header' => Mage::helper('extension')->__('Product Name'),
'align' => 'left',
'index' => 'order_items',
'renderer'=>'Vendor_Extension_Block_Adminhtml_Extension_Renderer_Productname'
));
Once you are done you need to render that file in ‘Productname.php’ that is available on below path.
Vendor\Extension\Block\Adminhtml\Extension\Renderer
You can even customize this code as per your need to display product name in Magento admin grid. Lastly, don’t forget to smash that down stars and comment down below if you face any issue while implementing this code. Happy Coding.
