Product Finder: multiple category drop-downs

[Jerr]

Hi Torvista
I just noticed your comment in another part of this thread.

I did not have any problems with other browsers though.
Your page width may cause overflow issues.

My page is the original so I will change the width setting to see what happens.

So, are you saying it works correctly now apart from the formatting?

Yes

I have the format working now also.

So now its just a matter of site design. I do have one question though. Will page templates work with this addon as most of the templates have there own CSS stylesheet. Thats what I like about Zen, its so easy to change page design.

If selectors used in template css have the same name as the selectors used in the product finder code then there may be odd effects but it should not break functionality.
It is easy to see with firebug what css rules are influencing a page element and if a rule in one sheet is overriding another.

Glad you got it working, I will update the readme in the download to hopefully avoid the problems people have had implementing the mod.

Yes,its working great. Now I am working with EP. I have a lot of product to add and EP will speed things up.

Also, is it possible to add another drop down box to product finder.

Example........ Make: Model: Year: Option:

The option drop down would be for vehicle type, LE, GLS, SE, etc

I don't know enough about the inner workings of this mod to say another box cannot be done, I would think it is possible.

(You should also look at Apsona as an alternative to Easy Populate.)

Thanks Torvista

Apsona looks interesting, I have it installed and I am trying to figure it out now.
