Image on certain category only

[Goob]

Hey guys. I'm having trouble styling a specific category on my site. All of my posts contain a featured image beneath the title before going to the paragraphs of text in the post. I have a category called Dead (ID 77) where I want to stamp a 2nd image on top of the featured image (or the first paragraph if there is no image) once I move the post to Dead.

You can see an example of what I'm going for on my current layout.

The guy who started working on my new design used the following method:

add_filter( 'genesis_before_entry_content', 'amd_deadpic' ); 
function amd_deadpic() {
echo'<div class="exlabel"><img src="http://www.heyitsfree.net/wp-content/themes/wp-theme-3/images/HIFLabel.png" /></div>';
}

However this called the image on every post, so he used a display:none to hide it and only show it when needed. There's got to be a way to only echo that for posts in Dead though, right?

There's different to code this using add_action however the key is to add a conditional tag after the function like this:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'amd_deadpic', 15  ); 
function amd_deadpic() {
if ( in_category('dead'))
echo'code-for-your-image';
}

Also note: You'll find the correct code to use for this in the Workstation Pro child theme by StudioPress.

Brad, thank you very much! That code was just what I needed.
