Getting category sidebars to display on those category’s posts

    Need a little coding help….

    I have created different sidebars for each of my category pages and I would like the posts in a specific category to display the corresponding category sidebar. Right now, the single.php file pulls in the default sidebar.

    I’m assuming I have to create a series of if statements, something like:

    ?php if (is_category(6) get_sidebar(‘Business Sidebar’);
    if (is_category(4) get_sidebar(‘Travel Sidebar’); ?

    Or maybe something with a Custom Field?

    … any help would be appreciated.

    my site is here http://thecostaricanews.com if that helps

    Thanks in advance.
