I’m having difficulty grasping the docs when it comes to categories. Is there a way to ONLY output the entries in a weblog that have NOT been assigned to a category?

hi municipal,

You need to use 2 parameters to do that. category_group= and uncategorized_entries=

You will need to add the category group ID(s)s to the category_group parameter that you do not wish to show.

{exp:channel:entries channel="about" category_group="not 1" uncategorized_entries="yes"}

Let me know if that works for you

Sorry—left out that I was trying to accomplish this dynamically and thus, without having to specify any weblog/category group. So it cannot be done??

municipal,

You don’t need to specify the channel but you will need to use the other 2 parameters to do what you wish.

You could experiment with the categories tag pair also

{exp:channel:entries dynamic="no"}
{categories}
{if category_id == ''}
{title}
{body}
{/if}
{/categories}  
{/exp:channel:entries}

I’m not sure I understand what your suggested code with the categories pair is supposed to do and how to use it? I mean, I tried and it doesn’t output anything.

municipal,

My logic there isn’t going to work unfortunately.
The only way that can be accomplished is using my original method from the docs using the parameters
