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 can just use no_results within your channel entries loop to set content for when there are no results from that loop:

{if no_results}
Sorry, no results found etc.
{/if}

see http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/conditional_variables.html#cond_if_no_results

Your results page code has 2 channel tags at the start of it - did your code get broken up when you posted it?
You just need the one channel entries loop there.
