This module is designed to go on the homepage. It lists the categories in a box with the category image on the right and a list of subcategories on the left.

V2 adds the ability to select the number of columns from the admin, and the ability to show products if subcategories are not available.

This is a vehicle year/make/model filter solution for opencart 1.5.1 and newer.

Added version 2.7 with 1.5.5.1 compatibility. If you do not need the compatibility you would probably be better off sticking with the old version for now. I have tested the new version, but it's a large change to make it work with the new version and many places for bugs to creep in. I have not yet updated the multi-store version, but I will get to it soon.
** note that v27+ requres version 2.3.0 (the latest version) of vqmod. **
** note if you get a cannot redeclare error after installing clear your vqmod cache **

Added a multi-store version so that makes and models are limited to ones that are associated with products that are assigned to the current store. Only use this version if you need it as it will have some performance implications, though I hope they are minimal.

This mod allows you to add unlimted year make and model combinations to your products.

Unlike other year make model mods this is not a search mod. It is a filter mod. Once the customer selects a year make and model the entire site gets filtered by only the applicable products and categories. You can browse anywhere in the site and everything will be filtered.

Features

• Unlimited year make model per product
  
• Not a search mod any browsing or searching done on the site once filter is set will be limited to applicable products.

• Set products as universal so they show up no matter what filter is selected.
  
• Adds a tab with a list of vehicles the product fits when applicable.
  
• Utilizes vqmod for upload and use install
  
• Includes import export script for easy adding of year make models to products.
  
• Filter by make only or make/model only etc.
  
• Choose where to go once filter is applied (home / search / reload current page)
