link_summary condition.. little help?

[dsenior]

Hey,
Love all the work, kbeaver, u've been a busy man..

I am trying to add a conditional statement to the beginning of link_summary.tpl
Basically, I want to check if category = Video, if so.. then load a different background image for the vote box... defined as news-shakeitvideo and news-shakeit2video in the css..

this is one of many attempts...

<div class="news-summary" id="news-{$link_shakebox_index}">
{if $Voting_Method eq 1}
{if $story_status eq "published"}
{if $request_category eq "Video"}
<ul class="news-shakeitvideo">
{else}
<ul class="news-shakeit">
{/if}
{else}
{if $request_category eq "Video"}
<ul class="news-skakeitvideo2">
{else}
<ul class="news-shakeit2">
{/if}
{/if}...............etc..

let me know what I can do to get this working.
Thanks for the help

In your if statement use something like {if $category_id == 5} instead of the one you're using. You'll need to change 5 to whatever category id the videos category is using. You can find that out in the database. Let me know if that works.
