Hi, I could use a hand displaying either a simple no results page or message.
Just a conditional that says “sorry etc..” would be fine.

I’ve got everything up and running very smoothly; with some great assistance here in the forums as well as a Lot of trial and error. I’ve been reading a lot about the different ways of doing this but I have had no success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s a link to my actual page

http://epgcaribbean.ehclients.com/index.php/main/sales_main

Here’s the code that filters the results:

<form method=“post” action=”{path=“main/_sales_main”}”>

Property Type

<select name=“search:property_type”>
  <option value=”“>—-—</option>
  <option value=“detached”>Detached House</option>
  <option value=“townhouse”>Townhouse</option>
  <option value=“apartment”>Apartment</option>
  <option value=“condominium”>Condominium</option>
  <option value=“commercial”>Commercial</option>
  <option value=“land”>Land</option>
</select>

Location

<select name=“search:db_location”>
<option value=”“>—-—</option>
<option value=“West Coast”>West Coast</option>
<option value=“South Coast”>South Coast</option>
<option value=“Country Location”>Country Location</option>
<option value=“Beachfront”>Beachfront</option>
</select>

Bedrooms

<select name=“search:property-beds”>
<option value=”“>—-—</option>
<option value=“1”>1</option>
<option value=“2”>2</option>
<option value=“3”>3</option>
<option value=“4”>4</option>
<option value=“5”>5</option>
<option value=“6”>6</option>
<option value=“7+”>7+</option>
</select>

Price Range

<select name=“search:price_range”>
<option value=”“>—US $—</option>
<option value=“100K-500K”>100,000-500,000</option>
<option value=“500K-1MIL”>500,000-1,000,000</option>
<option value=“1MIL-2MIL”>1,000,000-2,000,000</option>
<option value=“2MIL-4MIL”>2,000,000-4,000,000</option>
<option value=“4MIL-6MIL”>4,000,000 - 6,000,000</option>
<option value=“6MIL PLUS”>6,000,000 +</option>
</select>

<input type=“submit” value=“SUBMIT” /></p>
</form>

And here’‘s the code for the results page.

{exp:channel:entries channel=“listings” limit=“10” dynamic_parameters=“search:property-beds|search:db_location|search:price_range|search:property_type”}

{exp:channel:entries channel=“listings” sort=“asc” limit=“15” disable=“member_data|trackbacks” paginate=“bottom”}
 
<!—{entry_date format=’%F %d, %Y’} —>

{photo1}
 
<td>{title}</td>

{exp:eehive_hacksaw words=“30” allow=”<b>”}
 
{main_desc} {/exp:eehive_hacksaw}...More Info

 
{paginate}
{if “{total_pages}” != 1}

Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}{/if}
{/paginate} 
     
   
{/exp:channel:entries}

You only need one channel:entries tags 😊

You can use the no_results variable inside the channel entries tags to display a message…

{exp:channel:entries channel=“listings” limit=“10” dynamic_parameters=“search:property-beds|search:db_location|search:price_range|search:property_type”}

Normal variables here…

{if no_results}
Sorry nothing found
{/if}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Wow.
That was quick thank, you so much.

The page itself references 3 separate channels actually. It seemed the easiest was to manage the backend with residential, commercial and land.
But yes, I see how I had a lot of extra messy (useless) code in there 😊
It works great Now.

One more thing if you don’t mind:

I have the sort order as a default set up like this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="listings" limit="10" sort="asc" dynamic_parameters="search:property-beds|search:db_location|search:price_range|search:property_type"}

What I need it to do is to list by lowest price to highest. The property values are just a stored in a custom field.
How do I make that work?

Many thanks again.

Thanks for your time this evening. I solved my other issue too.

The sortby problem was an EE 2x thing with integers vs. numbers and when I changed the price fields it erased the data in the corresponding channel entries….

So I just used a hidden integer field and another text one for display.
All is well.

You beat me to it! Glad you got it sorted.

Thanks Blue.
Look forward to talking again.

Regards

Thanks for the assist, Rob.
