I would like to know if it is possible to add filter menu's for products. For example, if I want to sell car products for a particular make/model, can I add drop-down menu's that allows the customer to narrow their search by:

Choose Make
Choose Model
Choose Year
Choose Trim

An example would be at this site: http://www.oemacuraparts.com

Thanks

Download and install the Year/Make/Model contribution. Then you can modify it to filter the trim as well.

Chris,

This is working out great so far. First, I want to mention that I am in no way a web programmer and this is my first ecommerce site. With that said, what do I need to do exactly to add two more options to this filter tool? I want to add "Trim" and "Transmission".

Thanks in advance for your help

I was trying to edit the files but a bit confused on the different areas I have to modify. Would you be willing to make the two entries for me? If it is too time consuming, I can pay you :)

You can also have a look at the contribution called product specifications.
