I want to have a photo pop into the spot if there is nothing filled in on cms fields, is this possible? Right now it doesn't even come up with the "No records Foun", what have I done wrong? Here is the page http://www.lorenzos.net it is the Holiday Specials Section in the lower right.



Thanks!

No problem, just put your image tag where the "no records found" text is. The code should look like this:

<?php if ($listDetails['noRecordsFound']): ?>
No records were found!<br/>
(but replace this with your image tag!)
<?php endif ?>


If that's not working attach your viewer file and I can look at the code for you.

Hope that helps! :)

Is Holiday Specials a single record or a list of pages? If it's a list of pages you may want to use the list viewer code.

If you could attach the file for index.php I could look at the viewer code and try and spot the problem.

Hope that helps!

Hi Kim,

Ok, so since the holiday specials section is a single-page section there will always be a record. So what we need to test is if one of your other fields is defined.

So we can use a PHP if statement for that and || which means "or". So I added this code:

<?php if ($record['title'] || $record['title_2'] || $record['title_3'] || $record['title_4']): ?>

... holiday specials are displayed here ...

<?php else: ?>
<img src="/images/holiday.png">
<?php endif ?>


Which basically means if any of those fields (title, title_2, title_3, title_4 isn't blank then show the holiday specials, otherwise they must all be blank so slow the holiday.png image which says check back another time.

You can see the page here (I didn't want to modify your original):
