If no results tag is only working if I put a set of empty tags in front like this:

{if no_results}{/if}
{if no_results}
    //Some HTML here
{/if}

This is occurring inside a query and also in comments tags.

(EE 1.6.8 - Build:  20100415)

I can replicate this behavior in 1.6.9 build 20100430.

Can you please post this to the EE 1.x BugList with a link to this post, and respond back here with a link to the bug report?

I just submitted to the BugList as requested:

https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/12739/

The details that I entered aren’t showing up in the bug list.

I fixed that part, you’re use of the curly brace caused the text not to show. Thanks for reporting this.

I don’t know how you replicated but I now think I have this problem actually:
http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/query/index.html#3800

I think maybe the way I have nested the tags:

{exp:weblog:entries}
{ff_matrix}
     {exp:query}
          {if no_results}{/if}
          {if no_results}
            //HTML FOR NO RESULTS
          {/if}
          {/exp:query}
{/ff_matrix}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

This seems to work, so even though I don’t care about finding no entries it means the other tags now work.

{exp:weblog:entries}
{if no_results}{/if} <-- THIS BIT
{ff_matrix}
     {exp:query}
          {if no_results}
            //HTML FOR NO RESULTS
          {/if}
     {/exp:query}
{/ff_matrix}
{ff_matrix}
     {exp:query}
          {if no_results}
            //HTML FOR NO RESULTS
          {/if}
     {/exp:query}
{/ff_matrix}

{exp:comments}
     {if no_results}
       //HTML FOR NO RESULTS
     {/if}
{/exp:comments}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

I am glad you found a workaround for now.

K- I’m not replicating in a quick test:

{exp:query sql="SELECT title from exp_weblog_titles where entry_id = '111111111111'"}
{title}

{if no_results}
Nada for you!
{/if}

{/exp:query}

I get the expected ‘Nada for you!’.

Now expect to have a problem if you’re nesting tags- because the no_results may get confusing with regard as to WHICH tag it has no results for.  In the above- well, I try REALLY HARD not to nest a query inside a weblog tag unless I know for sure I’m only getting one results- because it’s going to loop and do a query for each result.  And that’s w/out tossing matrix into the mix.  Be sure you’re not generating hundreds of queries w/out realizing it.

And that said- if you want them parsed independently- you’d want to move the query to another template- embed that template- pass the variables as embed variables- and then they’ll be processed independently.  But yes- that no_results is for the weblog tag.

Also- it’s a bad idea to nest the comment tags inside the weblog tag- you can get variable conflicts and it’s just not to be used that way.

All that aside- are you folks replicating an issue w/out nesting your tags?

It was the nesting. Putting a no_results tag outside the query tag it worked.

Oops, will take the comments out of the weblog tags.

BC Team,

Has Robin answered all your questions or do you have any outstanding?

Yes all fixed.

Great stuff! Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
