Great work! What are the 5 Listit2s used for - the 5 destinations? Lots of info intelligently presented. Another win for CMSMS :D

I spotted a couple of errors which I have PMed you about.

I'm using ListIt2 for the following things:

* Brochures... gives the site admin the ability to upload PDFs and a thumbnail. When creating an Itinerary in Products (or through content block on a page), the admin can type in the aliases of the brochures he wants associated with them.

* Images and links at bottom of the Destinations pages

* Fact Sheets .. Very similar to "Brochures" above. Each trip can be associated with different fact sheets.

* Our Lodges page (ugly... need to fix it somehow)

* Testimonials page.

In short, I don't like users to have to format lists of data using the WYSIWYG editor.

The little AJAX "Holiday Selector" on the home page was fun to make.. A call to a Products summary template pre-populates the list, along with the trip count. When a selection is made, a piece of jQuery code calls a page on the site with templates turned off. This page calculates the new values and returns the pulldowns, which replace the original ones.

I'm looking to implement something similar using the ListIt2 module - I want it to use 'smart' filtering as you've done. Any pointers or examples you can share?

What do you mean by 'smart filtering' The AJAX selector on the home page?

Edit: I saw your other post.. I'll reply there.

Yes, the AJAX selector is the functionality I'm interested in. The comparison of values removes the chance of selecting an filtered option with no results - you always get a vacation option with your system because it removes options from the dropdowns based on what's been selected. I'm trying to implement something similar but could use some pointers!
