On a custom category page how would you write:

Code:

if ($category->cat_ID == $this_category)

I want to change the color of the category button IF it is the current category.

Anyone know if there are any CATEGORY-SPECIFIC ad rotator plugins?

Nah, just code it manually:

<?php if ( is_category( 'CAT1') ): ?>

CAT1 Code

<?php elseif ( is_category( 'CAT2') ): ?>

CAT2 Code

<?php else: ?>

Generic Ad Code

<?php endif; ?>

Hm, I'll have to think about that one. I can only think of doing that by overriding the text html based on the category by making a custom category list for the sidebar or maybe by using separate CSS files for each category using 'in_category' like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url')?>/default.css" type="text/css" />

<?php
if( in_category( 1 ) )
{
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url')?>/cat1.css" type="text/css" />

<?php } elseif ( in_category (2) )
{
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url')?>/cat2.css" type="text/css" />

<?php } elseif ( in_category (3) )
{
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url')?>/cat3.css" type="text/css" />
<?php } else { ?>

<?php } ?>

Thats pretty long stuff there and I'd have to update it every time I added a new category. I got it to work a specific category ID:

Code:

<?php

$args=array(

  'orderby' => 'name',

  'order' => 'ASC'

  );

$categories=get_categories($args);

  foreach($categories as $category) {

if ($category->cat_ID == '4') {

echo '<p style="background-color:#eccad3;"><a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View %s Links" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </p> ';

}

else { echo '<p><a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View %s Links" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </p> '; }

}

?>

Code:

echo get_category(get_query_var('cat'))->name;

will print out the current category name on the category.php page.
