Custom article or message for empty sections

My site displays an article list in each category, but some categories have no articles yet, and I’d like to display a custom message or a specific article (a sticky) in those empty categories.

I think I can do it using mdm_if_category, but that way, I’d have to specify every category that has no articles, and then I’d have to edit that if an article is published in one of those categories.

I tried to do it with swf_if_empty, but I couldn’t make it work.

I’d appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Re: Custom article or message for empty sections

I was looking for something similar and found a solution: chh_if_data to the rescue – takshaka does it again!

Re: Custom article or message for empty sections

Great! Thanks for the followup. jakob!

I ended up doing it as I mentioned it, with mdm_if_category. It worked, but is kind of cumbersome. Also, I have to edit it manually each time a section gets content.
I will install chh_if_data today.
