I searched now for days everywhere on drupal.org, but to no avail.

OK, here is what I am trying to do:

I have nodes that have two terms. Each term is in one of to vocabularies ( the first one is for example Ford and in the vocab brand and the second term is for example Mustang and in the vocab typ).

Now I set up a view that has an exposed filter for the terms from the vocab brand. That works fine.

Now I thought I could set up a second filter for the terms of typ, so that I can select all cars of the brand Ford. Works too.

But!

I can choose in this second filter not only from all Ford cars but from all cars there are.

Obviously I would like to have in my second filter only the choice of Ford cars since I first selected Ford in my first filter.

There is an option in views that says " Limit list to selected items". I thought that would do the trick, but it doesn't.

Does anybody know how to achieve this behavior, since this is standard with most car sites today.

Or do I make something totally wrong?

BTW: I am using D 6.4 and all the latest modules.

Thanks
Jürgen

have you looked at this module, faceted search? it does what you're after, constraining by vocabulary to support drilling-down logically...you could then theme output and likely do this without views at all (i believe)

Check the Hierarchical Select Module.
http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select
There is a demo linked from the project page, then click on the different sub-links (Taxonomy, Menu, etc.) to get an idea of what it does. I think it does exactly what you need and much more.

I've tried faceted search and hierarchical select, both modules work great except for one thing... No Views support. Is there any module out there that lets you filter views by taxonomy select lists like hierarchical select?

I've been searching but have found nothing yet.

i am looking too but i see that
"Faceted Search Views: Allows to use Views to display the search results."

does that not help you?

or i just spotted that 6.x version only out today so maybe this is news for you

peted, I just installed the 6.x version of faceted search with drupal 6.9 and views2 and it works like a charm. Make sure you read the documentation, especially for the part where you have to modify your settings.php file to work with the temporary tables if you are using table prefixes.
