Advanced search, please help?

[dimar]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to modify the advanced search by creating dropdownmenu's. In all the files I looked (html_output.php, tpl_advacned_search_default.php) I found DrByte's name, so if he (or anyone else) could help me, it would be great.

I want to create a dropdown which i hard-code by hand. it doesn't have to get something out of databases, so I just need to know how to create a dropdown menu within ZenCart, but at this time I can't seem to get it to work.

I found a dropdown which I would like to edit, but don't know where to begin. Could anyone give me some kind of "template" how to insert my own values and names?

<fieldset class="floatingBox back">
    <legend><?php echo ENTRY_CATEGORIES; ?></legend>
    <div class="floatLeft"><?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('categories_id', zen_get_categories(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES)), '0' ,'', '1'), $sData['categories_id']); ?></div>
<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('inc_subcat', '1', $sData['inc_subcat'], 'id="inc-subcat"'); ?><label class="checkboxLabel" for="inc-subcat"><?php echo ENTRY_INCLUDE_SUBCATEGORIES; ?></label>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</fieldset>

THE GOAL I'D LIKE TO REACH:

What I intend to do is create dropdown menu's with, for example:

dropdown 1) Nike, adidas, puma
dropdown 2) walking, running, climbing
dropdown 3) cheap, expensive, normal

The things that people choose I would like to put in a normal searchfield next to eachother, so that for example in the search field it says: Nike Walking expensive and then I search on that.

In my products I would have a number of shoes that have that exact text in their description.

Could you Please Help me?

Thanks in advance!
