Someone else asked this earlier here, but not answered. Trying again:

I want to suppress a DIV if there are no current entries in a category. I can do a test for no_result, but only within the exp:weblog:entries, and that requires that the DIV and the H4 heading be outside it, so far as I can tell.

My test page: http://64.62.135.162/index.php

I want the “News and Events” section, which currently has no entries, to just not get displayed (no H4, no DIV, no nothing) until there actually are entries, rather than what I seem to be stuck with now, showing the text “No current events”.

Is this possible?

thanks!

It is not the perfect solution, but you could wrap the {exp:weblog:entries} tag with nearly everything disabled around that div and use the same conditional:

exp:weblog:entries weblog=“weblog1” limit=“15” disable=“categories|custom_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks”}

{if no_results}
<div id=“marcoPolo”>
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Tried that but it doesn’t seem to work—or rather, it’s backward. Looking over my logic, I want something on the order of a logical “not” for this function—“if NOT no_results” (thus if there are entries), then show this div.

I tried nesting exp:weblog:entries, but that seems not to be allowed.

If not currently possible, I think this would be a good candidate for a feature request. Other ideas?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog=“weblog1” limit=“1” disable=“categories|custom_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks”}

<div id=“marcoPolo”>

{/exp:weblog:entries}

It should only appear if there’s content.  The limit will make sure it doesn’t repeat.

That seems to have worked! (I added the required category number to your example and had to repeat this tag twice, to open and close the div.) Not pretty, but functional. Thanks!!
