seems strange to me this feature isn't implemented in such a beautifully advanced plugin, so i'm just making sure:

i want to create a car parts search.
i have taxonomy "makers" (audi, opel, ford...) with 1st child "model" (audi has "a2" and "a3" for example, opel has "astra" and "cadette"), then this child has a second (sub) child "year", and this one has sub "engine". that's the basic tree:

-audi
-A2
-1999
-2.2
-A3
-2000
-2.4
-opel
-astra
-1998
-1.6
-cadette
-2010
1.8

i was able to create a taxonomy search which show in a single dropdown ALL hiererchies. but I can't create a nested (progressive) search which shows them one by one, something like this:

hidden link

is there really no wy to do it in views?

thanks!

Dear ido,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin, and this is already in our to-do list as a feature request, our developers are working on it.

Currently, there is a workaround with parent/child relationships, see the live demo site:
hidden link
section "Search Houses", the drop-down menus "State" and "City"

To see the settings, you can setup your own demo site here:

cool Luo, thanks.
if i'm ot mistaken, the end product (let's say "house") can be attached only to 1 parent, right? you can't have the same house in city1 and city2.
while i have an oil filter which should be attached to car 1, car 2, car 3...

Yes, you are right, in above demo site, the product ("house") are child post type of "City", so you can not have the same house in multiple city posts.
