Alrighty...Doesn't look to be as bad as I thought is it was going to be. After playing around on my local site it seems fairly straight forward.

From what I can tell so far the hardest part is going to be creating the subcats for all of the various makes,models, & years. I've sent an email to my supplier asking for a spreadsheet based on those parameters. If I can get it from them this process should go a lot faster.

Once again I'm amazed the level of knowledge and support here.

A huge Thanks to all of you folks.

Personally I think the hard part is the linking all the products, but if you can get a spreadsheet from your supplier with thatbroken down.. WAY TO GO.. and tell me the supplier . none of mine are that helpful!

Well I did get a new file fom my vendor, but it's a DCi file (?).

I opened it in Excel and it doesn't contain the info I was expecting. Looks completely worthless at this point.

For the SIDE BOX OPTION

You have to tell the code which top-level category to start from.

In /includes/functions/extra_functions/product_finder_sidebox.php

around line 56 look for

function zen_get_category_tree($parent_id = '99', $category_tree_array = '') {

The 99 is my top-level category, change it to yours.

How do we find out what ours is.

Go into your admin and into your catalog. Find the top level catergory you want to use and there should be a number listed next to it. That is your number
