Create: app/code/local/GaussDev/CustomCatAttrb/sql/CustomCatAttrb_setup/mysql4-install-0.0.1.php
Change “CUSTOM FIELD NAME” with your label name and “CUSTOM_FIELD_CODE” with your attribute code.
<?php
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$attribute = array(

'default' => "",
'group' => "General Information"
);
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'CUSTOM_FIELD_CODE', $attribute);
$installer->endSetup();
?>

$category = Mage::registry('current_category');
if ($category){
$value = $category->getData('YOUR_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE_CODE');
}
<?php if($_customAttribute = $this->getCurrentCategory()->getCustomAttribute()): ?> <?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_customAttribute, 'custom_attribute') ?><?php endif; ?>============================================= Yes/No option
$this->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute( 'catalog_category', 'home_category', array(
'group' => 'General Information',
'type' => 'int',
'label' => 'Home page category',
