Filter that depends on another filter?

I have a product that can be mounted in several different motorcycles and I want to create some filters to choose the correct.

I want to create 3 filters. Brand, Model and Year but I do not know how to make one depends on another.

For example I have 2 brands: Honda and Yamaha, Two honda models (CB & CBR),two yamaha models (YZ &YZF) and two products: A (suitable for Honda CB) and B (suitable for Yamaha YZF).

In the front end I should have a brand filter. When you choose Honda should be able to choose Honda models and when you choose Yamaha you should be able to choose yamaha models. The same with the year, and when you have chosen brand, model and year you can see the correct product for your bike.

I tried to do it using filters but I always can choose all the models (honda and yamaha) and I want to show the models depending on the chosen brand.

Is this possible?

Hello,

You'll easily be able to do that with characteristics and variants through your product page, you'll just have to create for example :
- a product named motorcycle
- 2 characteristics : "brand" and "model"

Hope this will help you a little.

Ok, I created a product named "oil filter" and 3 characteristics "brand", "model" and "year" as you say and now it works but I have a another problem.

The list of models is so large.

Suppose I have ten brands, ten models by brand and 10 years.

When I assign these characteristics to a product the variants list that automatically generates hikashop is enormous (1.000 products) and I only need to choose at most 20 of these variants. Find 20 variants on a thousand list can be a hard work.

Is there another way to make it easy?

I try to separate honda models and yamaha models in two diferent characteristics but the same oil filter can be mounted on a yamaha model or a honda model. I can create a new filter for model but in this filter I can select the two characteristics so I have to create two but I only want to show one, the correct one.

The solution would probably be to :
- Go to your product page
- Use the "Manage variants" button
- Delete all the useless variants

Then everything should be like you want to.
