I'm trying to write a conditional so that the I can output an active css class when the url segment is the same as the category name. Because the url segment includes dashes between each word and small case and the category name have uppercase characters without dashes the == operator is not evaluating true. Any advise on how to best accomplish this?

My Current Code:

{if segment_4 == category_name}active{/if}

Updated Answer

Found a solution using Low Seg2Cat plugin to get category_id from segment url:

{if segment_4_category_id == category_id}active{/if}
