Hi,

I've created a view right here Shop view

Now, I'm looking to implement a search filter on the left hand side of the screen. The filter consists of all the taxonomy terms, each terms with a checkbox for user to select, as per below:

Clothing Category (Vocab)
Clothing (Parent term)
- Tops
- Dresses
- Skirts
- Denims

Colors (Vocab)
Red (Parent Term)
Orange
Yellow
Blue
Green

Generally, what I am trying to accomplish is something like this Example shop, the category/taxonomy filter on the left.

Is there any tutorial or module that does this directly, or can this be done through Views module? I don't know but I do appreciate all the help I can get.

Thanks,
yeeloon

the menu und the right of your example module can automatically be created out of taxonomy terms using "taxonomy_menu" module.

I am having some problems with this as well. I am working on a Drupal site that I did not create, but I have been asked to modify it to allow searches for products with multiple taxonomies.

So, for example, I have two vocabs:

Categories
- decks
- video

Maufacturers
- alpine
- sony

I want to be able to search for something like 'decks made by alpine'. Googling shows me that I should be able to do something like http://www.example.com/taxonomy/apline,decks but this does not work and I am not sure if it is because I am misconstructing the URL or if something is broken on this site.

First, my taxonomy URLs look like this:

http://www.example.com/category/categories/decks
http://www.example.com/category/manufacturers/alpine

This presents the following problems:

1. There is no word 'taxonomy' in my URL
2. My terms are buried one level deeper than the examples I have found are. For example, alpine is in the manufacturers vocab and decks are in the categories vocab
3. The word 'category' proceeds my vocabs

I've tried various ways of constructing the URL to make it work, but all I get is a 404 page when I try to do anything like this:

http://www.example.com/category/alpine,decks
http://www.example.com/category/manufacturers/alpine,categories/decks
http://www.example.com/category/manufacturers/alpine/categories/decks
http://www.example.com/category/alpine/decks

etc
etc

I don't know where to go from here. Can someone shed some light on what the problem might be?

Thanks

Jon
