Sure, this can be done with a condition in the navbar template, here's an example:
Let's say your category is forumid 1, wrap the condition around the link you want to add like this:
Code:
<if condition="in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(1))">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="mylink.php">test</a></td>
</if>
You may also add more forumid's to this same array if you want to use the same links for more than one category:
Code:
<if condition="in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(1,3,5))">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="mylink.php">test</a></td>
</if>
You can use this for as many different navbar links as you want, just change the forumid accordingly.
