Control Sidebox Display Based on Category

[Hokey]

Hi
I would like to control some of my sideboxes and only have them display on certain categories. It is important they display on the main category page and also on the product page for that category.
It is also important for the sidebox to display when a search is done on a manufacturer, so if the product is in a category that has the sidebox set to display, it shows up even if the search has been done on manufacturer.

For example:
I have categories of clothes ie jumpers, trousers, t-shirts etc.
I need to show a specific sidebox when a visitor is on a page for the category jumper but a different sidebox when on a page for the category trousers.
The sidebox needs to be displayed on the main jumper page, as well as on all the jumper's individual product pages - this is to ensure that if a search is made that doesn't include the word jumper, the correct sidebox displays.

The product page ids are being numerically generated.

Many thanks.

You can use category-specific stylesheets for this.

Each sidebox has a dedicated sidebox container ID (or class), so after you have created a category-specific stylesheet, using the "display:none" declaration for sidebox containers will render them invisible.

Thanks schoolboy for the reply.
Have tested and it works.

Just to let people know what I did:
I created a .css file and gave it a filename related to the category ID. For category related css, I needed to name the file c_15.css with the 15 being that category ID.
Within this I created the class
#sizesminiaturesidebox {display:none;}

So now this sidebox does not display in that category.
I then saved it to: includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css

A much simpler solution than expected! (or that I could find from trawling the forum)
