   Hi all,

   Confusing title, and confusing problem..
   Here's the thing:

   I have 2 main categories (Topic (cat_id = 3) and Source (cat_id = 13)), each category having about 5 subcategories (Let's say SubTopic 1 to 5 (parent cat_id = 3) and SubSource 1 to 5 (parent cat_id = 13)).

   Every post has one SubTopic category, but possibly multiple SubSource categories.

   What I want is the possibility to check, for every SubTopic the available SubSource according to all posts that have the same SubTopic..

   for example:
   - Post A has SubTopic 1 and SubSource 1 + SubSource 2
   - Post B has SubTopic 1 and SubSource 5
   - Post C has Subtopic 2 and SubSource 1 + SubSource 4

   What I want to know is what to display is (I don't care about which posts, just the SubSource categories):
   - Subtopic 1 has Subsource 1 + SubSource 2 + SubSource 5
   - Subtopic 2 has Subsource 1 + SubSource 4

   Is there an easy way (or even a hard one) to get this? I really can't see how..

   Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
   Phil

   there have any relationship between Tropic and Source. I saw that only post made the relationship with Tropic and Source respectively. But have no relationship between tropic and Source.

   Am I correct?

   That is correct, the only eventual links between Topic and Source are the posts themselves.

   I guess there is indeed no easy solution for this one..
