The macros that are built into Roller do not allow you to filter out a
category. So, if you want to do this you'll have to write a little
Velocity template code. Instead of using #showWeblogEntriesPager() you
would write some Velocity code.
For example, you might create a special day template that omits
entries in a filter category. Then use some code like this to invoke
it:
## get pager for entries specified by URL
#set($pager = $model.getWeblogEntriesPager())
## get special day templaet
#set($dayPage = $model.weblog.getPageByName("mySpecialDayTemplate"))
## get entries map
#set($map = $pager.getEntries())
## foreach day of entries, run your day template
#foreach($day in $map.keySet())
#set($entries = $map.get($day))
#parse($dayPage.id)
#end
Hope that helps...
