I’m looking for something like:

{exp:weblog:entries parent_only="yes"}
       {title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

So that entries that are assigned to a child category are not being rendered. Only those who are assigned to a parent category.

There’s a similar thread over here, but they didn’t came up with any solution either.

Maybe a custom query? Or some PHP wizardry?

Yes, a custom query would be the way to go. Basically, display all entries whose parent category id = 0, meaning that they belong to a parent category.

Has anyone solved this issue yet?

I’m working on a fairly elaborate site that goes three levels deep. I have the 3rd level of entries tagged with both their parent category (i.e. Section 2) and their individual category (i.e. Chapter 4).

On the overview page for each section, I would like to show only the entry that’s tagged with the parent category (Section 2) and not all the entries in the subcategories.

Solutions exist if I were using the Categories tag, but since it’s the entries one I can’t figure it out.

{exp:weblog:entries  weblog="{my_weblog}" category="{segment_1_category_id}" }    
  <h2>{title}</h2><p>        <br />
  {body}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

I’m also using the Seg2Cat extension, thus the category id variable in the code above. It’s irrelevant, but just so you know.
