2 Products Sideboxes.. Possible? Help Please

[DPM]

At the moment i have the 'products' sidebox with all my products in under different categories, but what i'm wanting to do is add another 'products' sidebox under the one that's there at the moment and have the same products in it but listed under different categories. It's so that the customer can search via product type, original sidebox, or car type, new sidebox.

Is this possible and if so how as i'm getting no where.

For two categories sideboxes, you can use the Documents box by limiting some categories to document-general product type, then adding product-general to the allowed types. This has been discussed at length in the forum; look around, and I'll try to check in later.

From what i've read it looks like if i make a new 'catergorie' and set it's restrictions to document general and product general it will automatically put it in another sidebox. I don't know if this is right and haven't been able to test it as i don't know where to find the restrictions.

Right i've managed to do it but now i need to change the title from 'Documents' to 'Search By Car Type' and also from 'Products' to 'Search By Product Type'. Can anyone help please?

This is where you use the Developers Toolkit (in admin > Tools).

Paste the text, like Documents, into the bottom left box, select all catalog files and search. Among the results will be the file and line number where that text is defined, and you can edit that file and change it. You might try the top left box if you want to limit the search to language files.
