The site i'm trying to create would have approx 50 1st level, 100, 2nd level, and approx 20 3rd level. That's alot of categories & looks totally ineficient. The second level (x100) would be exactly the same naming convection under each 1st level.
So for example
Top level (manufacturer) - Ferrari, Lambrougini, Maserati.
Second level - (year) - 1950, 1951, 1952, ect to present year
3rd level - (Model) - These would be likely unique, so no repatition of data (good)
I have tried this mod and it looks good, I just concered I missing something. Using my example above, if i had 50 manufactures over 60 years would I have 3000 second level categories? If so then with 10 models per manufacturer per year, I would have 30,000 categories? I know you would not have 10 models per year but it's an example.
On top of that, parts could also be generic, engine, gearbox, steering wheel ect although prices, description ect would be unique.
Any insight of help would be appreciated
