Is this what you're trying to accomplish?

If category id = 2 or 37
then include category1.php
and display query_post code
else
include archive.php
end if

If so, then it should look like this:

<?php if ( is_category(array(2,37)) )
{
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category1.php');
query_posts('category_name=special_cat&showposts=10');
}
else
{
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/archive.php');
}
?>

 

Custom Query String didn't work for you?

 

hey that did not work for me for some reason. All i m trying to achieve is display different number of posts on different category

for e.g.

category1 - i want to display only 8 posts where as in

category2 - i want to display 20 posts.

cheers
