I’m looking for guidance on how the ‘Make & Model’ tag filter is implemented on the community.cartalk.com forum. Is this out of the box configuration or is it custom?

You can use this theme-component to add custom links

Thanks. I do not have access to the preview link above but I do not think you’ve addressed my original question. I’m specifically looking for the CarTalk solution.
I had originally flagged this as solved until I looked into it further. I appreciate the feedback but am still hoping that someone can help with info on how the CarTalk Make/Model drop down filter works.
It appears that a GET REST API call of “community . cartalk . com/cartalk/make_model_tag_groups” is called and returns a JSON string to populate the make and model dependent dropdowns. Is this a custom API call or does discourse automatically create a similar API for all tag groups using that same format?
They’re using a custom plugin for the dropdowns. But in the end they’re just filtering on tag for the model.

Thank You Richard! I am hiring a developer to create that solution and if possible will share the plug-in with the community.

Richard, do you know if CarTalk is self hosted or are they using the hosted version? I ask because I suspect that the hosted version has more controls over such customizations.
CarTalk is a customer and we authored this customization.
Excellent Falco. Thanks. What will it take for me to get a similar customization authored?
You said earlier
That’s what you would do to get a similar customization authored. If you don’t have a developer already, then you can post in marketplace.
You’ll need to outline just what it is that you want to be made available in your pulldowns as well as indicate that you have a budget to accomplish the job.
