Lookup tool

[jsiravo07]

Hi all,
Yes i am a newbee to the zen mater tool and i am trying to make a lookup tool that will be able to catagorize multiple products in multiple catagories. let me give some background becuase that may be too vague. I have a radiator that would fit a Acura intergra and Honda civic but the product would also be able to fit the cars for multiple years. I am pulling my hair out becuase i cannot figure out associate multiple product with multiple catagories and then use a lookup tool to be able to search for my product.


Here is a similar website that i am trying to make this look like.
http://pliii.com/productcatalog/radcat/index.asp

I still will try to figure this out on my own but any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!!

The URL uses linked dropdowns...
That is the selected value of the first drop down generates the selection list for dropdown2 .....

Take a look at the "Advanced Search" if the models and years are in the product description that should give you decent functionality....

For the first part, you can "link" a product to appear in other categories. For the best background on this I suggest that you setup an install with the demo DB loaded as there are countless examples of the features that are in Zen Cart and each product description is an explanation of what is applied.

For the other "search" function...this will require custom coding but this can be based off the manufacturers search functionality.
