Hi,

I’m using the Remember Me plugin to gather entry ids so that I can use them in a compare page

I have this code that shows only products that have their id set with remeber me.

{exp:channel:entries channel="products" entry_id="{exp:remember_me:get parse='inward'}" parse='inward'}

However when there are no entry_id set the channel entries shows all products.

Is there a way to show a no results message if there are no entry_id set.

Thanks

Wayne.

That’s a sticky one, the problem is that when there are no entries specified from the remember_me addon that passes an empty value to the entry_id parameter, EE then ignores the parameter and outputs the first 100 entries it finds (normal behaviour).

I think the solution is to run a conditional on remember_me on the previous page to check if it’s outputting entry ID’s, if it is then you can link through to the results page, if not just hide or disable the link.

Thanks Rob,

I decided not to use remember me in the end. I used a array generated from the checkboxes on the product page.

<?php
    if (isset($_POST['compare'])) {
     $compare_id = implode('|', $_POST['compare']);
    } else {
     echo "{redirect='/products'}";
    }
?>

{exp:channel:entries channel="products" entry_id="<?php echo $compare_id ?>"}

At least you found a solution 😊

Just turned up a useful conditional which may have also worked

{if "{exp:remember_me:get}" != ""}
 {exp:channel:entries channel="products" entry_id="{exp:remember_me:get parse='inward'}" parse='inward'}
 ...
{if:else}
  No results
{/if}
