custom messages for each category?

Hi all, I'm using PHPNuke 7.6 with patches.

I have a couple different categories for news items, such as Articles, Podcasts, Editorials. For each category, I want to display a different message (the type that you can show using the Messages Administration). Can somebody point me to the code that displays these messages?

All I want to add is something like:

if ($catid == "2")
{
echo "custom message for this category";
}

Should be pretty easy, I just can't find where the messages code can be found. I've looked through theme.php and found code that has:

$public_msg = public_message();
echo "$public_msg<br>";

Where is the public_message() function found?

public_message is in the mainfile.php

Secret to all those who make changes to files witin PHPnuke...check at the top of the function or even the .php file...look for "include" it will give you the file that has the "mystery" function you have no idea where it's coming from...
