Search results not Showing

Hi,

I follwed the textbook and placed the following code in the search_results form:

<code>
<txp:if_search_results>
<p>These articles match your search request: </p>
<txp:else />
<p>Sorry, we were not able to find a page matching your search request.</p>
</txp:if_search_results>
</code>

When I tested the search input field it displayed nothing.

When I instead put:

<code>
<p>These articles match your search request:</p>
<p><txp:search_result_title /></p>
</code>

and this time the results were displayed.

Question: What am I doing wrong here?
I would simply like to display a message when there aren’t any results.

Thanks!
Dada

Re: Search results not Showing

As far as I know there is no such tag as <txp:if_search_results> unless someone wants to correct me on that.

Hi Bombsite,

I found the example here

Let me know if I am missing something here, which is very possible ;-)

Re: Search results not Showing

You’re not missing something, you’re adding something ;) The tag is <txp:if_search>, meaning: if we are on a search results page.

Have a look at chh_if_data, this plugin will do what you want.

Re: Search results not Showing

There is a recently added tag if_search_results, but it only exists in a development (non-stable) version of Textpattern. Perhaps that’s where the confusion has entered.
