Re: ... display a message whether search result returns no match found
Would you mind sharing the exact sequence of tags and php code starting from <txp:if_search> up to the closing </txp:if_search> you are using? Use pastebin if you feel like Textile is fighting against you when you post code here.

<txp:if_search>
<div class="line"> </div>
<p><txp:php>
global $thispage; global $q;
echo( ($thispage['total']==0 ?
"Sorry, no match found for your request." :
"Your search for <strong>$q</strong> resulted in ".$thispage['total']." hits." ) );
</txp:php></p>
</txp:if_search>the page is here

Re: ... display a message whether search result returns no match found
Ok, alright. The other precondition for this code to work properly which you have missed is that it must be preceded by a call to <txp:article />, as the match count is calulated by code which is executed by the <txp:article> handler.
You can use an additional <txp:article pgonly="1" /> tag preceding the <txp:if_search> ... sorry, no matches.. </txp:if_search> sequence if you do not want to change the display sequence you are using now:
<txp:article pgonly="1" /> <!-- just calculate global article properties, suppress any display -->
<txp:if_search>
[...]
</txp:if_search>
<txp:article /> <!-- do display stuff here -->Phew. That’s a hard one, but I think we are almost there…

Re: ... display a message whether search result returns no match found
ah. why couldn’t it go inside the if_search ? that way I don’t have a whole extra rutine call on every page load… it still preceeds the php, right?

Right, that will work and save some energy ;-) The only thing to obey is that a call to <txp:article /> has to precede all that php code.

Perfect; thanks!
Quibble: you’re missing the slash from the “dummy” article tag before. For some reason, that made it not work for searches with >0 results. Otherwise, it’s brilliant.
Although this just makes me realize I have a lot of other work to do on my search results page . . .

Re: ... display a message whether search result returns no match found
Hi,
Is it possible to have the search results html output in three different ways ? That’s what I’m trying to do :
- no results outputs a paragraph,
- one result outputs a header followed by a paragraph,
- two or more results outputs a list.
Thanks

meb: <code>You searched for “<txp:php>echo htmlspecialchars(gps(‘q’));</txp:php>”.</code>
