Hi guys,

Here’s what I’m trying to do:
- I’ve got a channel which has upcoming content, i.e., events. However at time there may be no upcoming events.
- So in the case when there are no upcoming events, I’d like to show an alternative content from another channel.

I tried to use the no_results conditional, but it doesn’t seem to like the exp:entries tag in there. Unless I’m not doing it right.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Yea, it’s not going to like you putting a entries loop within another entries loop. I’d say use the {if no_results} conditional and put an embedded template in there.

Cool thanks!
This would work for the scenario where there is 0 related entries.

I’m also trying to make this work by limiting the total number of events shown.
So if I need to limit it to 3 events it could show 1 event which is related to the channel and show 2 other events that are not related.
As for other permutations of 2 related and 1 non-related, etc.

Any suggestions?

Anyone?

not sure if this will work but its worth a shot

{if absolute_results < '3'}
  {embed="templategroup/template"}
{/if}

How do I make sure the embed happens after all the current entries have been processed?
