Hi all, I’m finding it hard to come up with a solution to this.

Put simply I want to show something when there are more than 4 entries and something else when there are less. But I can’t seem to do it.

The code I want to show if there are less than 4 entries contains 2 weblog entries and some conditionals (not sure if this is relevant but it seems to complicating things… to me anyway) and the other code just has one entries tag.

Here is the full code…

If total results is more than 4 show this…
       
       

<ul>
                
                {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{section}" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks" sort="asc"}
                <li>
                    <h2>{product-name}{if products-info}<a class="info" href="/products/info/{url_title}/{categories}{category_id}{/categories}"><img src="/images/info.gif" width="21" height="21" alt="Info" /></a>{/if}</h2>
                
                    <p>{exp:imgsizer:size src="{product-img}" width="200" alt="{product-name}"}</p>
                {product-summary}
                </li>
                {/exp:weblog:entries}
            </ul>

       
otherwise show this…

       

<div id="sliderwrap">
                <div id="slider">
                    <ul class="navigation">
                        {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{section}" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks" sort="asc"}
                        <li><a href="#{url_title}"><span>{product-name}</span></a></li>
                        {/exp:weblog:entries}
                    </ul>
                    <div class="scroll-top">
                        <div class="scroll">
                            <div class="scrollContainer">
                                {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{section}" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks" sort="asc"}
                                {if no_results}{redirect="404"}{/if}
                                
                                
                                <div class="panel" id="{url_title}">
                                    <h2>{product-name}{if products-info}<a class="info" href="/products/info/{url_title}/{categories}{category_id}{/categories}"><img src="/images/info.gif" width="21" height="21" alt="Info" /></a>{/if}</h2>
                                    <p class="scrollimg">{exp:imgsizer:size src="{product-img}" width="200" alt="{product-name}"}</p>
                                    {product-summary}
                                    <div class="relblock">
                                        <h2 class="relatedheading">You might also be interested in&hellip;</h2>
                                        <ul class="related">
                                            <li><a href="#"><img src="/images/img52x52-1.jpg" width="52" height="52" alt="" /></a>
                                                <h3><a href="#">26" Cinema Display</a></h3>
                                            </li>
                                            <li><a href="#"><img src="/images/img52x52-2.jpg" width="52" height="52" alt="" /></a>
                                                <h3><a href="#">IOmega 250BG HD</a></h3>
                                            </li>
                                            <li><a href="#"><img src="/images/img52x52-3.jpg" width="52" height="52" alt="" /></a>
                                                <h3><a href="#">Mini Display cable</a></h3>
                                            </li>
                                        </ul>
                                    </div>
                                </div>
                                {/exp:weblog:entries}

                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div><!-- end slider -->
            <div class="slidebase"></div>

       

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks

Hiya,

As you haven’t shown the tag that you are using where you are getting the 4 or less results from then I am taking a guess here but I think your best bet on all of this would be to use embedded templates so you would end up with something like this :

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default_site"}
{if total_results > "4"}
{embed="embed-one"}
{if:else}
{embed="embed-two"}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

The template embed-one would contain the information that you want to use when there are more than 4 results and the embed-two template would contain the code to spit out when you have less than 4.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

Hmm its kinda working. But its looping the contents and if I add limit=“1” then it doesn’t work.

Oops sorry about that, try this instead :

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default_site"}

{if total_results > "4" AND count == "1"}
{embed="embed-one"}
{if:else}
{embed="embed-two"}
{/if}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Hopefully that should work correctly?

Best wishes,

Mark

This perhaps?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default_site"}

{if total_results > "4" AND count == "1"}
{embed="embed-one"}
{if:elseif total_results < "4" AND count == "1"}
{embed="embed-two"}
{/if}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

You can send me a login if you want to but I may not be able to take a look right away as I am having to borrow my Wife’s computer as mine is in the shop and she needs it in a bit. If you send it over if no-one else helps though then I will take a look no problem.

Best wishes,

Mark

Maybe there’s a problem with the if else, i’ve run into some strange things using if else with count and total results.

What if you try

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default_site"}

{if total_results > "4"}
    {embed="embed-one"}
{/if}

{if total_results < "4"}
    {embed="embed-two"}
{/if}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

EDIT: Already seen that problem’s solved wink

Hi Mike,

No problem at all. Sorry but I posted the first answer too quickly before I actually thought it all through first. Will definitely try not to do that again wink

Glad it’s all working for you now though.

Best wishes,

Mark
