    Great module! We want to use it for dealer selection, but I have one issue with this module:

    For example categories:

    – Europe
    — Austria
    — Belgium

    On each subcategorie there is one article assigned to. When the user select the categorie Europe the articles of Austria and Belgium doesn’t show up (because the articles can only assigned to one categorie).

    How can I fix this?

    • Fedik says:

      make menu item “Europe” and select there options, something like “Show subcategories” … or something like that

    Hello.
    I have a question.
    How is it possible to add a seperate css style to a filter menu.

    Example: This is a filter menu:like:
    http://www.quality-tuning.co.uk/  (see Quick Search (Cars)) …..

    I can use the css: option:nth-child(1), option:nth-child(3) { background: #000;}

    Than every 1st and 3rd item in every menu has a background.

    I don’t want every filter menu that background.
    The next menu while filtering i want it like for example the select_item_1595 the background:orange

    How must the css be?

    CS

    Can the Hierarchical Category Filter be embedded in a form in RSForms Pro to populate a dropdown field in a form created with RSForms for users to pick an item from that list as the selected item?

  7. Collin says:

    To Fedik,
    If I do that like divblock-id than how must I add the option option:nth-child(3)

    • Fedik says:

      think I wrong understand you first …
      not sure whether you can style < option >, the browsers not allow this if I right remember, you can only < select > a very little styling, like in previous example …
      but you can try like

      #block-id select[name="select_item_1595"] option:nth-child(3){
       background:orange;
      }

    Hi, I would use this great module, but I have one question:
    It is possible to skip 2-3 categories in this module?
    For example: I have 10 categories, but on the lists I would display only 8.
    Thanks in advance.
