Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Is there way to have it set up like this?

have 3 drop downs

I.E.

i have three master categories

CAT 1, CAT 2, CAT 3

each of those master categories has sub categories.

CAT 1
- SUB 1
- SUB 2

CAT 2
-SUB 1
-SUB 2

CAT 3
-SUB 1
-SUB 2

each of those sub categories has the products in there.

I guess what i'm asking is it easy to set this up like Summit Racing's website, if you go to their site and do the SEARCH MAKE/MODEL

I'm using 1.3.9

I've installed this mod & it works except that at the top of the drop down I have PRODUCT_LISTING_SEARCH_TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES. Can anyone tell me how to remove this?

Thanks

Nevermind, I figured it out on my own :oops:

Can someone please tell why this is happening?

I have uploaded everything to its correct folder.. yet a weird box shows with "more info" where the categories should be.

All help appreciated.

Thanks.

*1.3.9; V1.5 of mod*

I'm using this mod on 1.3.9 and love it. However, it completey crashes a 1.5 cart.

Can anyone tell me if this mod is going to be upgraded? Or if not, can anyone reccomend something similar to use with v1.5? I like the categories & sub-categories in the dropdown menu. If I can add "All Products, Featured Products, etc" that would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I thought about cloning the manufacturer dropdown, but I'm not that talented with code. lol.

does this version of the dropdown menu work in zencart 1.5 ?

Far as I can see, this mod works fine with version 1.5.8a.

(Yes, I know this thread is 11 years old, but I'm hoping to start a trend where Zenners report on plugins that work or don't work with the latest version.)

Not so fast, earp. The plugin does indeed work, but creates numerous error logs that say this:

If I switch to PHP 7.4, it still works and there are no errors, so I guess this non-programmer's question is: do I use PHP 7.4 (deprecated, I know)or switch back to PHP 8.1 and live with cleaning out the logs folder every day?

I've been using this for years, never looked at this thread since....I'll try and update it shortly.
