Hey all,

I have, as a lot of people do, a list of categories with their post count next to them.

What I would like to do is setup another link that says "uncategorized (#)". Is this possible?

Short of adding an Uncategorized category and moving uncategorized posts there, that is?

Thanks =)

Was there ever an answer to this? I just ran into this today myself.

Nope, I just ended up making a new category and using that for 'uncategorized' posts.. called it stream of consciousness =)

My reasoning, was that I wanted to find the POSTS that weren't categorized...

Gary

(this message is corrected, it incorrectly said categories previously)

You mean posts that weren't categorized?

You can see this easily in 'power-editing' mode, all the ones that say 'none'. That's how i re-categorized my 'none' ones to 'stream of consciousness'.

If not please clarify.. =)

Yes. But I want the computer to do it; that's why I'm using movable type and not doing it manually

I also want other people to easily see the posts not categorized and not have to have them use powerediting, when I probably will give them a different type of client to use anyways....

I wanted it for similar reasons but on the published end, not the editing end...

Anyway, I found no way to do it and noone has come forth with a method. As far as I can tell (and I've had some help investigating) there is no way to report on a null in that area.

so, the options are to suffer... or to categorize them into something.

In case you ask, there is no way to set a default category short of hacking the .cgi's (I chose not to), so ... well, there it is.

Good luck Gary.. if you find a way, let me know. =)

use a sql query.

the mtsql plugin may help you.
