Search by manuafacturer

[fgs]

With the website I am creating I would like to have the option to search by manuafacturer by clicking on an image of the manufacturer's logo, as well as being able to reach the product by category.

Is it possible in actinic to do this?

THANKS in advance.

Im sure this is, you will need to do some scripting for it, but basically clicking the image runs that search routine. You will probably need to create custom variables so you can add the manufaturer to each product then the search can be configured to look for these

A few here will probably be able to point you in the right direction

I kind of guessed that might be the case. Does anyone know what code i will need to implement and where? Or if there's another way around it?

well, you could always do it this way:

ensure that the brand is always included in the title of the item,

then make a link like this:
