   Hi there.

   I have a question regarding custom display of posts in the Thematic template.

   Previously in this forum I requested help about how to remove a category from the blog and display it in another page.

   And this is the code I use in the function.php to achieve this.

   // Remove category 3 from the blog
   
   function exclude_category($query) {
   	if ( $query->is_feed || $query->is_home ) {
   		$query->set('cat', '-3');
   	}
   return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');
   
   function childtheme_previous_post_link_args($args) {
   		global $wp_query;
   		$category = get_the_category();
   		echo $category->cat_ID;
   		if (in_category('3')) {
   	$args = array ('format'              => '%link',
   	 'link'                => '<span class="meta-nav">&laquo;</span> %title',
   	 'in_same_cat'         => TRUE,
   	 'excluded_categories' => '');
   			}
   		else {
   	$args = array ('format'              => '%link',
   	 'link'                => '<span class="meta-nav">&laquo;</span> %title',
   	 'in_same_cat'         => FALSE,
   	 'excluded_categories' => '3');
   		}
   		return $args;
   }
   add_filter('thematic_previous_post_link_args', 'childtheme_previous_post_link_args');
   
   function childtheme_next_post_link_args($args) {
   		global $wp_query;
   		$category = get_the_category();
   		echo $category->cat_ID;
   		if (in_category('3')) {
   $args = array ('format'              => '%link',
   		'link'                => '%title <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>',
   		'in_same_cat'         => TRUE,
   		'excluded_categories' => '');
   			}
   		else {
   $args = array ('format'              => '%link',
   		'link'                => '%title <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>',
   		'in_same_cat'         => FALSE,
   		'excluded_categories' => '3');
   		}
   		return $args;
   }
   add_filter('thematic_next_post_link_args', 'childtheme_next_post_link_args');
   
   // Code to display category 3 with in my custom page
   
   function child_theme_custom_query() {
   
       	if (is_page('3')) { // change '48' to the id # of your page
   
   	$limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
       	$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   
           //change '4' to you category id # and change the value of $limit to the # of posts you want displayed per page
       	query_posts('cat=3' . '&showposts=' . $limit=4 . '&paged=' . $paged );
   
       	$wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
       	}
   
   }
   
   add_action('thematic_above_indexloop', 'child_theme_custom_query');

   What I need now is basically to have 1 page with the blog (category 1) without category 3, a page with just category 3 (both already working) and on top of that now I need a page that displays 1 post from the category 3 page and 4 posts from the blog (category 1), and I have tried a lot of stuff without success and I was hoping someone could help me out

   No one up for the task :Þ . I've been looking all over for info, and am reading about the Thematic hooks and filters but I'm not able to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated

   I wrote a response, but I read through your question again and realized I didn't quite answer it. That's a complicated query_posts call for sure.

   Hi Devin and thanks for your reply. I managed to dig something up last night from the forums and found this code that resolves my problem for now.

   // CREATE SPECIAL HOMEPAGE WITH ENTRIES FROM CAT 3 AND CAT 1
   
   function agribusiness_newsgrab() {
   
   	if (is_page_template('home-template.php')) { // change '48' to the id # of your page
   
   	echo "<div id='expoactual'>";
   		$posts_news = get_posts( "category=3&numberposts=1" );
   		if( $posts_news ) {
           	foreach( $posts_news as $post_n ) {
   			setup_postdata( $post_n );
   				echo '<h2><a href="';
   				 echo (get_permalink($post_n->ID));
   				 echo '" title="Permanent Link to ';
   				 echo (get_the_title($post_n->ID));
   				  echo '">' ;
   				 echo (get_the_title($post_n->ID));
   				  echo '</a></h2>';
   				  //echo (get_the_content($post_n->ID));
   					the_content("Continue reading '" . the_title('', '', false) . "'");
   				}
   			}
   	echo "</div>";
   
   	echo "Darreres entrades al blog";
   
   	echo "<div id='recentblogs'>";
   		$posts_r = get_posts( "category=-3&numberposts=3" );
   		if( $posts_r ) {
           	foreach( $posts_r as $post_r ) {
   				setup_postdata( $post_r );
   				echo '<h2><a href="';
   				 echo (get_permalink($post_r->ID));
   				 echo '" title="Permanent Link to ';
   				 echo (get_the_title($post_r->ID));
   				  echo '">' ;
   				 echo (get_the_title($post_r->ID));
   				  echo '</a></h2>';
   //  				  echo (get_the_content($post_n->ID));
   
   					//the_content("Continue reading '" . the_title('', '', false) . "'");
   				}
   			}
   	echo "</div>";
   
   	}
   }
   add_action ('thematic_indexloop','agribusiness_newsgrab');
   
   // END CREATE HOMEPAGE
