Vehicle Year/Make/Model Filter (OpenCart Mod)

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

Demo available at http://demo15.spotonsolutions.net/

Official Documentation available HERE

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.

** 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 **
