Linking product to multiple categories

[thurs]

Hello,

I have a few questions if you don't mind.

1. I'm trying to link a product in my inventory to multiple categories. For example, I have one oil filter for sale that can be used by each of the vehicles in my category named: Honda, Acura, Nissan etc.

2. Also, can I have a vehicle selection category like the links below in Zen Cart?

3. Can you deduce what eCommerce solution the sites below are using?

Thanks, I'm half way there! However, the Multiple Link Manager is different from what I'm looking for. I have somewhat of a unique situation in that a single product in my inventory can correspond to multiple categories.

For example, BMW X5 00-06 and a Range Rover 03-05 share the same exact brake pads. So if I only have one brake pad in stock, I would want to display it under BMW X5 00-06 and Range 03-05. When a customer buys from either category it should list it out-of-stock for both models since the last one got sold. Is there any mod like that?

That is standard behavior for linked products. There is only one product, which is listed under as many categories as desired. It's really a common enough situation.

There must be something basic that I'm missing then. How does one link a product?

Catalog > Categories/Products > product > blue (c) button on right > fields include this:

Copy Method:
(x)Link product
