I am working on a Auto Parts site and am having a hard time getting a taxonomy that will work for it. Here is the scenario example Auto Part.
Accelerator Cable: SKU: 00001
what it fits:
Car Manufcturer: Volkswagen
Car Model:
Corrado 1989-1991
Golf GTI 1985-1992
Jetta GLI 1985-1992
Passat 1989-1993
I have been going around in circles over this.
By the way I would like to use Hierarchical Select module.

You need two top level
You need two top level vocabularies.
1. Top level Vocabulary: Auto Parts
Term: Cables and Accessories
Child term of parent term immediately above: Accelerator Cable
Child term of parent term immediately above: SKU: 00001
Type: Page (for example)
Hierarchy: Multiple
Multiple select
2. Top level Vocabulary: Car Manufacturer
Term: Volkswagen
Children terms of parent term immediately above:
--Corrado 1989-1991
--Golf GTI 1985-1992
--Jetta GLI 1985-1992
--Passat 1989-1993
Type: Page (for example)
Hierarchy: Multiple
Multiple select
Now, create a page and combine the terms via multiple select to meld together the part type, car make and model that you are trying to sell. You can then categorize your page under a variety of taxonomy terms.

thank you for your reply the problem I am having is that.
example part 2

--Corrado only 1990

I think that is what I have to do

I am a NOOB if you could go into that a little bit more. I am using views
Have a look at the site http://bowwowimport.com/part_locator this is how I have the search working now but it is not right...
very few parts in the taxonomy that it draws from. full parts list is under products and the ones that are are under catalog. until I have the taxonomy figured out.
What I am trying to get is similar to
http://catalog.worldpac.com/worldpac/year-make.jsp?partner=default
I really appreciate your help on this :)

OH by the way Drupal rocks
may the sun be on your back and Drupal in your face.
I would abandon views for
I would abandon views for the moment and work on the basics.
You need to select a parent taxonomy. I would select Year. Child number one would be car make (VW, Toyota, Ford, etc.). Child of car make would be part category (suspension, brakes, engine, heating and a/c, etc.). Child of part category would be part number and description.
Your view ultimately would be:
Year of car?
Car make?
Category?
Part description?
You could put these in any order you like, but I think the order I have enumerated above makes the most sense to the average consumer.

I tried this

1960
-volkswagen
--type1
---cables
1961
-volkswagen
it adds type 1 and any term under it to all the Volkswagen terms and when I edit a node to use cables taxonomy it adds to all the years. Sorry but I really appreciate your time helping me...
I have the year vocabulary set to
multiple and multiple select.
