Simple conditional output

    Dear ladies and gents,

    beg a pardon for my possible ignorance, but unfortunately I’m stuck with not being able to find a simple straightforward solution.

    I am using my own template to display events in a sidebar widget, ie. events.php
    Here I’d simply like to display different outputs using different strings like echo EM_Events::output( $myargs ); based on the condition statement “if the output is empty”, ie. no items with those args are found. So if it matches then good, show, if not – let’s try another string. Sure I can look for the “No events” string but there must be a better way.

    ‘m definitely missing something fundamental here and would like to avoid writing special conditional functions as described in docs as I am not so experienced in PHP yet.

    Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry for some bad English!

  • Hi,

    Something like this should work:

    if (EM_Events::output( $myargs )) {
// code for events here
} else {
// code for no events here
}

    Thank you for your answer, and yes, it’s working as desired. But obviously as soon as your “No events message” contains at least one char, the statement becomes true.

    However this method suits the purpose and allows different “No events message” strings, which is nice.
