Product Finder: multiple category drop-downs

[Jerr]

Here is a diagram I created for myself to help me understand
the setup. The diagram is a thumbnail so just click on it to see the full picture.

I hope this helps

I scratched my head a bunch until the picture formed in my head.

Jerr, thanks for that image.
Did you fix the problems of the spanish category names not saving?

I hope that the diagram is understandable.

Not yet.

I am trying Apsona to see if that will solve my problem but its just creating another problem for me. That is the good old learning process. I have it installed but haven't figured out yet how I can import data with it.

Whats curious about the language problem is that if I enter the info, make, model and year manually it will be saved and appear in the drop downs but when I use EP it is skipped and then when I try to edit a category adding the 2nd language it wont save it. When I look in the MySql database, the entries I have made manually show language 1 and 2 but all of the entries made with EP only show language 1. There is a clue there somewhere, just wish I were more PHP and MySql literate.

Also I have installed your latest product finder update and I like the graphic. Looks good

Hello
Who can tell me how I could add a search field
Category 1
Sub Level 2
sub sub level 3
sub sub sub level 4

For example

Make / year / type / model / product

thank you!

Any Ideas on how to make the site faster by perhaps putting this in a popup or an Ajax script so it only loads when clicked on? Otherwise, the site has a lag everytime it loads a new page, as we have a lot of categories...

Thanks in advance.

torvista, kudos on a great module. Easy install, easy setup. I have a request to remove one of the dropdowns.......how would I do that without breaking this thing?

As I have never had to fix anything with this mod, I don't know how it works. You'll have to do some educational hacking and see what happens!

I have been going through this thing for 3 days because I wanted to do the same thing.

I don't claim to be a programmer, and I will not be responsible if this crashed the whole thing..... but, I tried this and it worked for me, so far...

In jscript_model_year.php :

$("#cPath").change(modelList);
//$("#select_model").change(yearList); COMMENTED OUT THIS LINE
$("#select_model").change(function() //CHANGED ABOVE LINE TO THIS
//Not used $("#select_year").focus(); THIS WAS ALREADY COMMENTED OUT
//$("#select_year").change(function() COMMENTED OUT THIS LINE

Then I commented out the lines that list the year on the page in tpl.header.php :
*/
echo "<li>";
$year=array();
$year[]=array('id'=>'',
'text'=>TEXT_PLEASE_SELECT
);


if($_REQUEST['select_model']!=""){
$year=array_merge($year,$dropdownArray);
}
if(isset($_REQUEST['cPath'])){
$value=$_REQUEST['cPath'];

}
if($_REQUEST['select_model']!=""){
echo '<span class="pf_selectbox_name">' . TEXT_YEAR . '</span>' .
zen_draw_pull_down_menu('cPath',$year , $value, 'id="select_year" class="pf_selectbox_text"');
}
else {

echo '<span class="pf_selectbox_name">' . TEXT_YEAR .'</span>' .
zen_draw_pull_down_menu('cPath22',$year , $value, 'id="select_year" class="pf_selectbox_text"');
}

echo "</li>\n";



//Begin No-Script

echo "<li>";
echo "<noscript>";
if($_REQUEST['cPath']!=""){
$value=$_REQUEST['cPath'];
}
echo zen_my_image_submit(PF_NOSCRIPT_SUBMIT, 'Go');
echo "</noscript>";
echo "</li>\n";

*/


Hope this helps.

bluetooth, I actually didn't get the job of doing this because I couldn't come up with a solution. But, I sure do appreciate this information, as it may come in handy in the future.

Sorry,
After further testing, I have found that the modifications I made above does not work.

I will keep at it, if I get anywhere, I will post here.
