   scenario

   I have one custom post type: events

   Two custom taxonomies: future events & past events - both displaying posts using single-events.php

   I need a way of having a different sidebar for :

   1.future events
   2.past events

   I need something along these lines:

   If custom post "event" & custom taxonomy "future event" then show sidebar 1

   else

   if custom post type "event" & custom taxonomy "future event" then show sidebar 2

   heres where I am upto with code:

   elseif ( get_post_type() == 'events')     {
   	 if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') ) dynamic_sidebar(1);
   } 
   
   elseif ( get_post_type() == 'events')     {
   	 if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') ) dynamic_sidebar(2); 
   
   }

   Please help?

   Ok, solved the problem - I needed to use:

   elseif ( get_post_type() == 'events')     {
   	global $post;
   	$event_status = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'event-status' );
   	if( !empty($event_status) && is_array($event_status) && !empty($event_status[37]) ){
   
   if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') ) dynamic_sidebar(6);   // past event sidebar
   
   	}
   	else{
   
   if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') ) dynamic_sidebar(3);   // future event sidebar
   
   	}
   
   }
