Need to display 2 column subcategory for only 1 category

For my whole site I am displaying the categories in a 3 column format. What I want to do is display 2 column format only for a certain category.
In the subcategories.tpl there is a line that says

Quote:

{ if %cat_num.index% is div by 3}

I'm certain that there needs to be an if statement after that but I don't know where and what to put near this code.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the quick reply! I've been to that post and got and idea but coudn't get anything related to an IF statement for multiple columns for a particular category. If you can find me the code I would be very gratefull!

I'm not implementing it right for my lack of programming logic. Here is what
I tried but didn't work.

Quote:

{ if %cat_num.index% is div by 3}
{if $cat eq "1372" is div by 2}
<tr>
{/if}
{/if}

See if you can correct this please!

OK, not a programmer by any means, but you are checking to see if the catnum is a ultiple of 3, and then checking to see if it is a multiple of 2....

Code:

{ if %cat_num.index% is div by 3}

this line is checking to see if it is divisiable by 3 in order to start a new row, this creates a 3 column table... what you want to do is check against the cat num, and if true create a 2 column table, so I would do something like...

Code:

{if $cat eq "1372"}

   { if %cat_num.index% is div by 2}

    <tr>

    {/if}

{else}

   { if %cat_num.index% is div by 3}

   <tr>

   {/if}

{/if}

it may not be correct, but hth
