If you look at the Blog.Macros page you'll
see it accepts a
"category"
velocity variable that you can set.
You can also modify the HQL query in Blog.Macros
page to suit your
needs if you want.
Actually, the funny thing is I want to include everything BUT a
specific
category. Being able to include one category is pretty neat and I
could
see how that would be useful. I've tried a variety of syntaxes for
NOT
and OR both in
#set($category = "")
and
Blog.Macros, but no success yet.
I've also tried specifying multiple categories with AND, but no
success
there either. :(
I'm on holiday right now and I don't have much time to experiment with
this but try editing the Blog.Macros page and modify the HQL. You
could introduce a new categoryExclusion variable and based on it
exclude some categories using a modified HQL query.
