Magento-show custom attribute of a product only if that belongs to specific category

Question

I am showing a specific attribute on product page directly under short description instead of additional information section. I am able to achieve that but I want to show particular attribute only for products from a specific category. Not for all products from other categories. I need some IF statement here to show this only for specific category, for example cat ID 7. Anybody can help?

<?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('fabric') ?>

Answer 1

Try

$category_id = 7;
if(in_array($category_id, $_product->getCategoryIds())){
   echo $_product->getAttributeText('fabric')
}

Answer 2

The code that worked for me is this, posting here as answer if this is needed by anyone and other codes didnt work for them.

<?php $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/layer')->getCurrentCategory();?>
<?php if($category->getId()==7): ?>
<?php echo "a is a" ?>
<?php endif; ?>

In Magento-1.9, Display the custom attribute settings

Magento Admin Panel -> Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attributes -> Add Attribute ->

Frontend Properties -> Visible on Product View Page on Front-end here select the "Yes" option.

Once you can try this method.
