Empy list not showing "no events to display" text?

Danimal · 02-05-2006, 04:06 PM

When I have a date range that doesn't include any events, I should see the "There are no events to display for this time period" bit (I'm using modern.php template), but I don't see anything.

Is there a value that turns it on (or off?)

I have $noNav=1 set but other than that I don't have anything that I can think of that would cause this part to not be displayed.

Is there a FAQ on this or a previous thread? The annoying thing is that I think this was working at some point, but isn't now. Hrm.

Any thoughts/help?

Thanks!

Ok,

Here's the weird thing... I have at the top of the page a list view with a custom template (mostly just no table formatting... really stripped down), and then later on in the page, I have a navigatable list view using the default "modern.php" template.

The one at the top of the page shows the "empty" stuff in the template when there are no events, but the other one (that uses modern.php) does not.

So I wonder if there is a setting that needs to be explicitly set (or unset!) between the two?

I think I remember something about some value needing to be reset if you're using the listing module twice in the same page.

Try disabling the first list to see if the one using modern.php works then.

Hrm... I did some searching but I can't find anything. Here's the relevant code...

First, at the top of the page (but in the <body> tag so after the $OL=1 call), I have:

Code:

        <?php
// SHOW LISTINGS MODULE
$epcListMouseover=1; // WILL USE THE MOUSE-OVER POPUPS FOR LIST MODE
$LIST=1;
$listWeeks=52;
$listEvents=3;
$showCat=9;
$noOld=1;
$DF = "M jS, Y";
$template="latestnewslist.php";
require("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

And then later I have:

Code:

<?php
unset($showCat);
?>

To make sure that calendars below don't only show category 9. Then I have:

Code:

 <?php
$noNav=1;
// SHOW LISTINGS MODULE
    require("calendar/plugins/navigation.php");
    $epcListMouseover=1; // WILL USE THE MOUSE-OVER POPUPS FOR LIST MODE
    $LIST=1;
    unset($listWeeks);
    unset($listEvents);
    $listMonths=12;
    $DF = "M jS, Y (D)";
    $template="modern.php";
    unset($shownEvents);
    require("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

And the interesting thing is that the listing at the top of the page shows the "no events for this time period" blurb (the "empty" tag in the template) when there are no events... but the second listing doesn't show it (the "empty" tag stuff from the template) when there are no events.

If I turn the first one off completely (i.e. comment out the code), then the second one works just fine.

So there's something being set that I need to unset, presumably, but I have no idea what it is.

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks!

P.S. FWIW the require line regarding "navigation.php" is a plugin I made myself to create a customized navigation include with images and with some stateful calculations (like if I'm in single month view, it navigates by single months, if I'm in month + list view, it navigates by 3-month increments and if I'm in list-only view, it navigates by year increments). Also, this require and the $noNav=1 make no difference in terms of this issue.

I can't test this right now, but try to unset($ev); .

Danimal · 02-06-2006, 04:28 PM

Nope. Didn't work. :-(

Can you zip and attach your original page so I can test it locally? (Or attach it to a support ticket).

Danimal · 02-06-2006, 06:06 PM

Yup. Ticket submitted.

Thanks!

unset($displayedEvents);

That was it!
