A conditional block which tests attributes of the category currently in context and outputs its contents on a match.

This tag can be used anywhere where there is a category context:

• Within an MTEntries loop
• In a category archive template
• Within an MTCategories loop
• Etc

Required attributes

• name - Name of category for conditional test
• label - Alias of name attribute above

Optional attribute

• type - Tests for the assignment type for the category, accepting values of primary and secondary.

NOTE: There is currently a known issue related to this in that the value of 'secondary' is not accepted by the type attribute.

Example code

Conditional output based on category:

<MTIfCategory label="important">
    This is important
<MTElse>
    Misc is not so important
</MTElse>
</MTIfCategory>

This can be used in conjuction with CSS rules to display things differentially. This adds a class attribute of featured to the entry title h2 tag if the category of the entry is "Featured":

<h2 <MTIfCategory name="Featured">class="featured"</MTIfCategory>>
   <MTEntryTitle>
</h2>

Below is a full example testing for not only category assignment, but also the type of assignment.

<MTIfCategory label="misc" type="primary">
    Misc is the primary category
<MTElse>
    <MTIfCategory label="misc" type="secondary">
        Misc is the secondary category
    <MTElse>
        Misc is neither a primary not secondary category
    </MTElse>
    </MTIfCategory>
</MTElse>
</MTIfCategory>
