The MOD is good, but OC has some limitation, It means your MOD may can not work properly in OC.

OC doesn't support multi-select brands, but some auto part can fits Audi, BMW, Honda, etc. How do you let OC to have this parts with different brands? make copies of that parts for each band?

Since I can not access your product in Admin, so I can not tell, if you have made some improve in this MOD.

Anyhow, this will be a good idea, if can push D & Q to make multi-select brands in Product page.

How did you manage to create dependant options? would you consider creating a mod for product options being dependant on whether 1 option was selected previously or not? that would be a massive benifit to opencart and a great extension.

creating dependant static structure like this is nothing compared to making dynamic dependent product options

Fair enough, never thought it was easy, just wondered if he might have been skilled enough

He might be.. just saying this model/make/year thing has been done a few times in opencart already... but so far not at the product option level.

well it's really two completely different things. I've seen several people who want to use options and manufacturers for the YMM, but done properly its completely separate.

Assume I have a product "Oil Filter" which has the Part Number "ABC123"
This is stored in my product table with the product_id "1"
This product would fit many vehicles, for example Chevrolet Aveo 1.6 and Chevrolet Neon 1.4

This would be represented in my product_ymm import file as:
product_id|make|model|begin_year|end_year|engine
1|Chevrolet|Aveo|2004|2007|1.6
1|Chevrolet|Neon|2005|2009|1.4

My problem is that both of those cars may have different fitment detail for the same product_id.
For example the part may only fit the Aveo with Automatic Transmission and the Neon with Manual Transmission. This scenario is not possible to represent in the current module. I would propose the following design to the product_ymm import:

product_id|make|model|begin_year|end_year|engine|application_fitment_detail
1|Chevrolet|Aveo|2004|2007|1.6|w/Automatic Transmission
1|Chevrolet|Neon|2005|2009|1.4|w/Automatic Transmission

Would it be possible to enhance the module to be able to handle this scenario?
