why won’t the following code work? can i not do an {if:else} within an {if no_results}?

<ul>
  {exp:weblog:entries weblog="press" orderby="date" sort="desc"}
    {if no_results}
      <li>There are no files available.</li>
    {if:else}
      <li>a link to the file</li>
    {/if}
  {/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>

{if no_results} is a special variable pair, you can not use it with an if:else.  Nor do you need to - it is intrinsically thus.  It’s functionality is to show some content if there are no results, if:else show the actual data.

ohhhh…. duh! thank you!!! i should just put everything in the loop there, and obviously it won’t do it if there are no results. thanks again!
