Is there a variable like %category& that gives just the parent category?
I'm building a site for an art gallery and my category structure is something like:
Artwork (parent)
- Abstract (child)
- Figurative (child)
- Drawings (child)
News (parent)
...
I've set the custom permalink structure to:
/%category%=%postname%
which for a post in the Drawings category would deliver a url like:
.../artwork/drawings=post-name
But I really only want the parent category to be part of the url. Ideally I'd like them to be:
.../artwork=post-name
or
.../news=post-name
Of course it's possible to set the permalink structure to:
/artwork=%postname%
which would be fine except that then posts in News would appear as
.../artwork=post-name
rather than
.../news=post-name
Any ideas?

@ admin: I first tried to post this a few min. earlier in the same place (How To...) but with the title "Permalinks w/ parent %category% only" but the % sign made the post not accessible. Please delete that one and keep this one.
