Heya,
I'm working on a site where the side navigation changes depending what the category is. Easy to do with the (is_category('') tag. But I'd like the sidebar navigation to remain the same for all the single pages that are within that category. So lets say I have category '5' for features which means for the is_category it looks something like
<?php elseif (is_category('5') ) : ?>
<div class="headline_line"><h2><span>Feature types</span></h2></div>
<div class="content_features_navigation">
<div class="current"><li><a href="#">Print features</a></li></div>
<li><a href="#">Radio features</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Video features</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Photo features</a></li>
</div>
I'd like to have the same thing for all the posts that are within this category. I know I could do this by making a single5.php file, and call a sidebar-features.php sidebar (or equivalent), but this seems like a bit of a labourious work-around. Is there a way to do it with a conditional tag in the sidebar. Sorry if this is really obvious, but I've scoured http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags and couldn't find anything.
many thanks!
