Custom Filters

[digitalcow]

Eric,

Have got customer filters working fine thanks to your guide but would like to make them a little more advanced if possible. Can you tell me if this is doable.

I am making a website with car parts and I will have a custom filter with different brands on car to narrow down the choices. I would then like to have secondary custom filter with different models; for example, if someone ticks Ford on the custom filter, when the page reloads I would like to have different models of Ford and then maybe a 3rd level filter for the year.

In theory this should be possible shouldn't it by making a view for each manufacturer and then choosing that view/menu to only appear against a set url query which would contain the keyword? Will take a while to do but do you think it is possible to do?


thanks
Carl

Hi Carl

It should be possible but sounds like a bit of work. You'll need to analyze your $_GET values in order to determine what to serve up.

Did you find any usable code?

Hi,

Sorry completely forgot about this, got distracted with my seo business. One client is a UK government website and it's the most drawn out and inefficient process ever when they want to change things.

Will be back on this in the coming days, will update
