I've had a good bit of a play but I'm pretty sure I'm missing something really obvious here so apologies if this is a really stupid question.

I want to create a menu structure something like this:

Information about cars

Make
Model
Colour

So I'll have 3 drop down boxes. You choose the make of the car, that then allows the model item to be populated with the appropriate models and then you choose that and then you choose the varient which is populated with the approriate information. I have that working however it just adds the make, model and varient into the same taxonomy category. The problem with this is that I want to be able to filter based on make. With what I'm doing I might have a varient that has the same value as a make. e.g. I might have something like a Ford, Focus, Red and then I might have another item like a Renault, Red, Blue (I know this might seem bizzare but the point is there may be repeating values in different drop down boxes). Thus in this situation if I searched for cars that are colour "Red" it would give me both the Ford (correct) and Renualt (incorrect).

I've tried to set it up with different vocabulary so that I have differnent categories, in this case I'd have a Make, Model and Colour category but then I can't populate the select boxes depending on the previous selection.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks

Dear fellow Drupal enthusiasts,

this issue is now lasting for a very long time in the issue queue and was unfortunately never solved. As Drupal is a open source project everyone is helping on voluntary basis. So that this is was not solved is nothing personal and means no harm. But perhaps no one had time to deal with this issue, maybe it is too complex or did not describe the problem comprehensibly.

But this issue is not the only one. There are thousands of issues on Drupal.org that have never been worked on or could not be processed. This means that we are building a wave that is unmanageable and just a problem for the Drupal project as a whole. Please help us keep the issue queue smaller and more manageable.

Please read again, "Making an issue report" and see if you can improve the issue. Test the problem with the current Core and modules. Maybe the problem doesn't exist anymore, is a duplicate or has even been solved within this issue but never closed.

Help can also be found for it on IRC and in the user groups.

In order to remove this issue, I have set this issue to "fixed"

If there is new information, please re-open the issue.
