Question

Basically I have a custom post type of ‘products’ which has two taxonomies attached to it…the normal ‘category’ and a custom taxonomy called ‘brands’.

I have a page which is ‘brand’ specific. On this page I’d like to list all the ‘categories’ that have a ‘product’ in them with a term of the ‘brand’ whos page I’m on attached.

Eg. say I’m on the “Nike” page. I want it to list all categories that have a ‘product’ in them with the ‘brand’ of “Nike” attached to them.

My initial thoughts are to use get_categories but theres now way to define a specific taxonomy or ‘brand’?

$categories = get_categories('orderby=name&depth=1&hide_empty=0&child_of='.$cat);

Anyone done this before or knows a way to query the database directly to get the required results?

Any help is much appreicated, Thanks
