From what I understand nesting weblogs is no-no however if this true how do I go about setting a conditional so that when there are no results from one weblog I can display an entry from another?

I though something like this but the not without nesting weblogs:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="ABC" limit="1" show_future_entries="yes" show_expired="no" dynamic="off" sort="asc"}

  Content if not expired

   {if no_results}
     {exp:weblog:entries weblog="XYZ" limit="1" dynamic="off" sort="asc"}
       Content from XYZ weblog if ABC weblog is expired
     {/exp:weblog:entries}
    {/if}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Thoughts, tips, tricks?

Thanks!

Maybe setting a “Dynamically Assigned Variable”?  (its really a statically assigned if I remember correctly )

{assign_variable:uh_oh='yes'}

Then testing for it outside the weblog tag

{if uh_oh=='yes'} ..... {/if}

Use EMBED.  You can embed within the no_results check and it will pull everything you need.

Works for me.
