Adding an if statement to a template

[bigsoccer tech]

I need to do the following:

In my header I want to serve button a in forums that belong to category 1 and 5, button b in forums that belong to category 2 and 4 and button elsewhere.

I'ld like to create a variable called:

$ppnbutton

And have code something liek this:

If category=1 or 5
then $ppnbutton = (html code)
else
if category=......etc

Is this doable? How?

Use a different header in forums 2 and 5. You can add a new header template into the database from the control panel. Calling it 'header2' or something. Then, modify the forums that you want changed, and set their header template to point at header2.

Ah..i get it.

but can this be done for a _category_ instead of having to manually do what, for me, is 20 different forums but only 2 categories?

Unfortunately, it has to be done manually at the moment.
