Plugin for nested tag or category filters (3 posts)

    Hi all. I'm trying to put together a site to do with job searches for a friend. There will be an article on each job and she wants a filter to view posts based upon certain criteria such as job type, average annual salary etc.

    I have been using "Multiple Category Selection Widget" to achieve this and just had a filter box for each query (e.g. first box for salary, second box for job type etc). The problem with this is that there is no link between the boxes so, for example, you could look for a job type of "Manual Labour" in the first box and then a salary of "£100,000+" which would not bring back any results.

    Does anyone know of a good plugin which allows the filters to be reliant upon the previous selections? Using the above example, I'd like "£100,000+" to disappear as an option in the second selection if "Manual Labour" was chosen in the first.

    I don't mind if the plugin uses categories or tags as the filter criteria; either is fine.

    Thanks in advance.

    Does anybody have any ideas on this? I still can't figure it out!

    Thinking about it, it would actually be better if the search ran off of custom fields. I'd want it so that, once the user has selected, say, a location of "UK", the possible options in the next box (say, salary) are populated only from the posts that have a "location" of "UK".

    If anyone knows of a way to do this I'd be REALLY grateful!
