Hello Friends,

I'm a bit helpless here ;)
I already tried anything I could find (even destroyed my shop with one crappy addon(products_specifications_1_0_3)

Maybe you guys can help me ;)

Background Info:
I am running a shop were I sell products where the size really does matter for the Enduser.
The size thing is a main search term and very important.

Actual situation:
ATM I only have an search extension on the "Advanced search"-site [Selectbox (200 - 300cm) || (300 - 400cm)...]
This not very usabilltyfriendly


What I want?
I want 2 selectboxes on the left Navigationpanel where also the categories and manufactures search is that are titled:
Size
from [SELECTBOX] to [SELECTBOX] (Searchbuttonbutton)

I can't seem to find a solution, help would be very much appreciated.


Thank you!

Greez,
LL

A way to do this would be to add a new input box to each product for "size".

Then you can make a dropdown (of size ranges), and link that to the advanced_search_result page.
The advanced_search_result page would need a new query to deal with the SQL that would return the result.

That is not an awful lot of help, but it gives you a basis on which to search for a solution.

Actually no!
I couldn't figure out how to bring the query into the search form.


But I will try a little more.
