The standard product types in Magento are Simple, Configurable, Grouped, Virtual, Bundle, and Downloadable. Have you ever wanted to change the look and feel of a product based on the product type? Or, maybe custom code a logic based on the product type? The following code will help you identify the the given product’s type.

[php]
<?php
switch ($product->getTypeId()) {
case Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type::TYPE_SIMPLE:
// Do something
break;
case Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type::TYPE_BUNDLE:
// Do something
break;
case Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type::TYPE_CONFIGURABLE:
// Do something
break;
case Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type::TYPE_GROUPED:
// Do something
break;
case Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type::TYPE_VIRTUAL:
// Do something
break;
}
?>
[/php]

Happy coding!
