Question

I am creating a Drupal Commerce website in which I have created 4 Product Types and 4 Product Displays as following

1. Health
2. Eye / Sunglasses
3. Contact Lenses
4. Sports

To classify the products I have created several vocabularies, some vocabularies are common in all product display types and some are available in one or two product display types.

Now I want to use default Taxonomy Term view provided by the views module and add those vocabularies as exposed filter in that but in the way that if Health Taxonomy page is being viewed it must show the vocabularies as exposed filter related to Health Only and so on

Answer 1

It seems to me that what you are looking for is not a view, but a search result page with facets.

If you want to use views, as @milkovsky said in comments, you will need a separate view for each product type. That way is undoubtedly the easiest approach.

However, if you want to direct your visitors to a single URL that dynamically adjusts to the kind of thing they're looking for, take a look at the Facets API module. That module effectively scans the results on a search page looking for categories and shows them in blocks, allowing you to narrow down the search.

As it says on the module page, you can use it with the Search API or Apache Solr Search modules which significantly improve upon Drupal's core search. I found the latter suitable to my needs, but they're both pretty good. Installing Solr on your server is the "fun" part...

For an example of what facets are, look no further than eBay. Just go to the home page and type something in the search box: the criteria that show up on the left hand side are facets (pictured below). They're not Drupal facets, and they vary wildly in their rendering, but the function is the same: narrow down the search.

Answer 2

give the module hierarchical_select or it's simpler approach a try.
