Need help on choosing a category modification

Hi, im doing a gold store for a client (http://www.anotherroundgolf.com) and all the items are either left/right handed, mens/womens, and stuff like that. So I want to do the website like Newegg.com has it where you has a list of options to pick from after you pick the main category. For example: so pick solid state drive, and then you have the option to pick price range, brand, rpm, etc ,etc. Is there a modification that will do this?

Another this, is attributes, like flex, angle, and stuff like that, how can I make it look like hockeygiant.com where its a drop down on the product page and items disappear off the list once they are out of stock?

ZenCart is FREE and open source so it can be customized to the limits of your ability or pocketbook...

Do you have a site budget on the order of NewEgg??

Bassically, that type of filtering is not part of the default file set and would require a bunch of custom coding to be effective

Not impossible but not straight forward either...

You might check the free software addons link above left and search for PC configurator
I had seen this 3rd party module but have never used it and can not attest that it performs what you seek

Re: Need help on choosing a category modification

ive seen plenty of smaller sites use the same thing as newegg, it cant be that hard...

Or can you recommend a way of organizing content so it makes sense for the customer?

Try using the tutorial/FAQ's link above right
I searched it for "attributes"

Re: Need help on choosing a category modification

Oh wow haha. Sorry about that. Simple question, should I use Brands as categories or just use the manufacturers option gives by zen cart?

Have not seen your site...link is bad
Assuming it is golf equipment
I would arrange by your own structure - say "irons", "Woods" etc as categories
But you can enter them into brands and link them
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=216

You can then customize your cat box with a 3rd party module i.e. categories dressing so that your cats are at the top and by brand at the bottom

Customer can browse by your cat and see all irons or by only one brand
