Page List - No Results | Nothing Found

Permalink
What is the best way to add to the Page List block a function that would display "No Results" (or something to this effect) if there are no results to display?

This is something that custom block templates can do very easily:
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/general-topics/custom-templa...

What you do is create in the top level /blocks folder a folder called page_list and inside that a folder called templates. Then you'd copy into /blocks/page_list/templates the file /concrete/blocks/page_list/view.php and rename it to something meaningful show_no_results_message.php.

Then you can click on the block, pick Custom Templates, and this new template can be selected. I've attached a template file here that should display the No Results message - should be obvious how to adjust this to what you need.

Just create the folder I've described above, drop in show_no_results_message.php and go pick the template for the block. (attached is zipped as the forums don't allow .php attachments)

Ryan,

Thnaks. This is perfect. Not so good with PHP. This is exactly what I needed:

<?php if (empty($pages)) { ?>
<p>No Results</p>
<?php } ?>
