How to go about creating a car parts finder: Make, Model and Year - Populate drop downs based on previous selection
Hey Guys.
I have a project for an eCommerce store for a car parts company.
I have been asked to develop a search based on Make, Model and Year (all select lists).
The idea is the user selects a Make then the Model select list gets populated with all models for that make.
Then the user selects a Model then the Year select list gets populated.
And finally the user selects a Year and hits Submit and results are returned.
I found this as an example in case my explanation is lacking: http://22cars.com
I am hoping to achieve this in Low Search but have no idea how to do the populating of the select lists.
Any ideas or help people can throw my way would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
=)

You can take a look at Low Options and Low List for creating those options.
As for dynamically changing the list of options based on the value of another drop down; that's not something LS can take care of natively. It's the front-end implementation that is up to the developer to create.
If you need help with the implementation; I do offer an Implementation Aid service for a fee. Get in touch if you're interested in that: http://gotolow.com/contact

Thanks Low.
I thought that might be the case.
I will look for some external help on the front end.
It's good to know you're willing to help for a fee.
Cheers.
