    Hey Guys,

    I feel like I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find any information on relating Categories.

    Here are my category groups:

    https://skitch.com/radiantm3/r15kf/category-management-expressionengine

    Basically there are 3 ways to drill down to various automotive products. I have a channel called “products” with all three of those category groups assigned to it:

    https://skitch.com/radiantm3/r15md/edit-group-assignments-expressionengine

    My entries have at least one of each category checked:

    https://skitch.com/radiantm3/r15m3/edit-entry-expressionengine

    “Products” is the template group I have for this stuff. On the index page I have these three category groups listed with their categories under them as links:

    https://skitch.com/radiantm3/r15tj/products-alekshop

    When you select a category, the next page lists all the entries tagged with that category. The url looks like this when I choose Audi S5 from the products_by_car group:

    index.php/products/group/category/audi_s5

    Right now it lists every product in the audi_s5 category in one big list. Here’s what I want on this page:

    1. Allow the user to filter even further from this view by selecting a brand or product category.

    2. Separate the products listed on this page into products_by_category

    Is this possible? I feel like it should be, but can’t seem to find any information on this. Maybe I’m just not asking the right questions. I really appreciate any advice on this.

    A friend forwarded me to http://loweblog.com/software/low-seg2cat/ which seems like it will do the trick.
