Hello,
I have a Repeatable Field Groups that I display using a block view. I would like nothing to show if there is no content. I tried using conditional block but it doesn't work...
The example would be that I have a list that produces some results (Title: results). When there are no results it looks like this:
Title: "There is no results".
I would like nothing to be displayed as I use in other non-view cases with the conditional block... how would it be done with view?
Thanks!
If this does not apply for you, we can also hide the message through CSS. For example:
#wpv-view-layout-6784 {
visibility: hidden;
}
Where '6784' is the ID of the View that we're trying to hide. You can inspect the 'no items found' message in your frontend in order to check what is the ID of your View.
Please give it a try and let us know how it goes. Thank you.
I'm using block views, not legacy Views... on a repeteable field grup.
I think I didn't explain myself well... I have a block view (on a repeteable field grup) with a title. When there are no results, the title is shown... I want to know how to do it so that when there are no results, nothing is shown, not even the title. Conditional block doesn't work... An example (title and results):
Featured artists:
Bob Dylan
John Lennon
Marilyn Monroe
When there are no results, the title "Featured artists" show, like this (only title):
Could you please show us in which page the View and Conditional blocks are located? Also, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.
Our Debugging Procedures
I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.
- Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link
Please, let me know if you need any additional details. Have a nice day.
I have double-checked the problem, but so far I haven't been able to find a fix. I asked my colleagues to take a look to see if there's anything I'm missing.
I'll come back here as soon as one of them answers me (which shouldn't take long). Thank you in advance for your patience!
Sorry, I misunderstood what you needed given what Mateus shared with me, I thought a custom search was involved.
What you want is fairly straightforward using the legacy Views editor, but difficult with the View block, which doesn't have quite the same flexibility in terms of where you add content.
Specifically, you have a heading (e.g. "Artistes destacats:") that needs to appear before the loop of results, but needs to be part of the same section as the results so that if there are no results found then the no results found text can be used (and you can simply have that as an empty string).
Unlike in the legacy editor, you can't place something in the results but before the loop itself.
As an alternative, you can move your static heading inside the loop section of the View, at the top, but include it within a conditional block that checks to see if this if the first iteration of the results.
So if there are some results, just before the first result your heading will be output.
If there are no results you want to output nothing (when you have the View Loop block highlighted, you can delete the text in the Loop Template settings for the No items found text).
Regarding where to add the conditional block with your static heading, you want to add it as the first block within the loop editor, as shown in my screenshot (which has a heading block outputting "View results"). The second screenshot shows the condition you are checking.
I kindly ask you to check if the suggested options work for you.
Note: the possible solutions provided are to be used just as informational ones. Please remember that custom coding is out of the scope of our support, so we can't create, debug or modify code for you and it's your responsibility to maintain it. We hope the one we used as an example could point you in the right direction. Please check our support policy for more info: https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/
Thanks for your understanding. If you need anything else don't hesitate to contact us.
