Hi

I need to create a ecommerce site for car parts.

Each product would have some attributes: model, manufacturer, year, etc.

Then on the frontpage of the site you could select from some dropdowns and each dropdown would dynamically generate the other one, i.e. by selecting BMW in manufacturer would do two things

1. Dynamically load values for Model
2. Show search result using Ajax of all BMW parts

Then when the customer selects 325i from Model similar thing would happen

1. Dynamically load values for Year
2. Show search result using Ajax of all BMW 325i parts

I’m thinking of using CartThrob but any help getting this search functionality to work would be really appreciated. I’m looking for information if this is something I could just do with the EE search functionality or if I would need some serious programming.

Thanks!

I recommend using a comination of dynamic parameters, the search parameter, and ajax to make this happen.

Thank you Rob! I will try your suggestion.
