I’m setting up a calendar view that lets you page through channel entries by month. But some months will not have any entries.

Is there a way to still display the month and a message like “there are no entries for this month” even though there are no posts for that month’s date range?

The url for a page like this might be something like this:

events/month/2011/02

Have you tried using {if no_results}?

{if no_results} worked, thanks!

Now is there also a way to still display the current month at a url like: /events/month/2011/03 when there are no entries?

Clearly the url is generating the month dynamically. Can I put that month in the template some how so it says something like, “There are no events for March”.

In the if_no_results section, you could do some sort of checking for the last segment, and based on what it is, use the long version of the month name in a message. I’d tend to combine the month and year together. This would be more of a How Do I kind of question, which would fit better in the CodeShare Corner.

I’d use SwitchEE which is a third party add-on over on Devot-ee.com.

Does that help?

That certainly points me in the right direction. Thanks!

Glad to see that helped. Please post again as needed.
