2nd set of Categories? / Product Dependant Attributes / not 100% sure what to call it

[edwardtilbury]

I need a 2nd manufacturer / 2nd category way to sort my products.. here goes..

I have a client that sells car parts..

zencart offers MANUFACTURER and CATEGORIES

Here's my dilemma, I'll use a random product.. how about a VW beetle stereo harness.

MANUFACTURER - Harness King (zencart has me covered on this one, i just make a new MFG. No Sweat!)
CATEGORY - Products > Audio > Harnesses (zencart is ok on this one too, Just make a few categories!)
CAR MAKE - ??
CAR MODEL - ??
CAR YEARS - ??

How could I have have a similar category-esque type of tree for my car types, almost like a 2nd category in a sense.. most customers sort by their car type. Is there a community add-on that accomplishes this task? I looked, but I wasn't even sure what the official name of a feature like this is called? I'm using Zen1.3.8a latest version.


Additional product matrix? Dependant Attribute?

Thanks! Any help is appreciated!!

I think this is what you are looking for:

I haven't tried it yet but it's on my list of mods to check out on my test site since we need the extra sorting parameters like you.
