Hi all
Over the last few days I have been trying to add a new feature to our site
www.sweetswholesale.co.uk
I want customers to be able to search by colour. The problem is we sell sweets and sometimes a sweet can have multiple colours in it.
My 1st thought was just to create a custom variable call colour and just select what colours was in that sweet. Not so easy as I thought as you can only select 1 choice per variable
2nd thought create 5 different variables
colour1
colour2
colour3
colour4
colour5
then simply choose which colours are in that sweet then get actinic to do a search for say red sweets over the 5 possible options. Thats where I ran into the problem, I can search each variable in turn for the colour, but that will not work, I need a simple drop down box with all the colours in and the site to search all 5 options automatically.
Don't know if this is even possible but would appreciate some feedback if anyone has done this.
