I’m building a directory of galleries and museums in NYC, and each gallery is categorized by neighborhood and type. Is there any way, once someone has clicked on a neighborhood, to then have the option to click on a gallery type and only show the results within that neighborhood? Or vice versa?

So is the gallery type a subcategory of neighborhood?

Nope. Here’s the site: http://nycgallerydirectory.com

Each neighborhood is a sub-category of a borough, but the gallery types are their own categories. I think what I’m basically looking for is a way to show galleries that have 2 or more categories in common—i.e. all galleries in “Midtown” and “Contemporary”. I was thinking that there might be a way to do it with the 3rd segment once you are in a specific category. Something like clicking on the gallery type while viewing galleries in Midtown would show all galleries in category=”{segment_3}|{2nd_category}”, but I couldn’t follow the idea through.

You would have to construct the parameter like so for this to work:

category="{segment_3}&{segment_4}"

Then you would just have to work out how to get those category ID’s into the URL segments 3 and 4.

You might need to use a little php on the template to construct the links correctly, but it should all be fairly straight forward.

Thanks for the assist, the_butcher.
