I know what I’m trying to accomplish but I don’t know how to ask which is why I’m probably not finding anything in the forums. 

We have a site selling TV’s and I want each product to be searchable via Brand, Style, price etc.  See the screenshot so you can see what I’m talking about.

I know it’s only possible to have one category.  But that’s kinda what I want to accomplish.  That a user can click on Mitsubishi and see the same tv that they would if they filtered the search by price or type of tv, like DLP, LCD etc…

***EDIT***

What is related_categories_mode=“on” all about?  Could this be my solution?

Hi Jeramiah,

You can have multiple categories per entry (just select multiple ones in the multi select).

In your case you would probably have multiple category groups (for brands, price range and styles), and it’s fine to assign multiple category groups to one weblog too.

Hope this helps

Right on… I think I was over thinking this.  I didn’t realize you could multi-select.  My only question now is, how would one split up the categories so that they appear as they do in my screenshot?  I imagine you couldn’t do a loop of them, you’d have to manually create the links which is fine… I love the new site of EE but I can’t find the templates.  Do you know where they are?  I used those all the time.  Thanks!!!!!

How about something like this:

STYLES:
<a href="http://www.example.com/index.php/site/C1/">DLP</a>

<a href="http://www.example.com/index.php/site/C2/">LCD</a>


...etc..

BRANDS:
<a href="http://www.example.com/index.php/site/C3/">MITSUBISHI</a>

<a href="http://www.example.com/index.php/site/C4/">TOSHIBA</a>


...etc..

Hi Jeremiah,

As Janine says you assign multiple categories to one entry. As for how to display your categories please have a look at the Channel Categories Tag in the documentation.

Cheers

@Janine, thanks for helping out!

I did go to that page but it seems as though that’s not going to be what I need.  I will need to manually list them which is fine.  Thanks for all the help guys!

Thanks for the assistance, tidy.

Glad you’ve got a solution, jeramiah.
