I'm using nugget addon to embed some extra php code on a pages that relate to specific categories.

How do I determine what the current category id is, for a discussion list page and a comment list page?

    Sorry, should have mentioned this is in Vanilla 1. I just can't seem to find the correct var or object that has that info.

    Something like: 
    if(object->categorid == '10'){
     //echo additional content - in this case an embeded google calendar above the comment grid and/or the discussion grid

    }

    look at the Discussion and Comment objects, then the DiscussionGrid and CommentGrid controls. if you're in themes/comments.php, you'd get it like $this->Discussion->CategoryIDif you're in themes/discussions.php, it's at $this->Category->CategoryID

    Thanks. Was going to do it in a nugget, but will do it in one of the theme files instead.
