when pdb_list returns no values

  • Hi,

    it there a method to check if [pdb_list] returns no values?
    I use the do_shortcode() method to display a custom search. It works great but I want to display a message like “Sorry, no results!” if the search returns no records. Until now I did a seperate MySQL query to check if there are any results. Is there a direct way to do that?

    cheers

    This is typically handled in the template. If you take a look at the default list template, you’ll see that it checks for $record_count > 0 and prints the list if there are records to show. You can see further down the template where it prints the “no records found” message.

    So, your direct way to check for the number of results is that $record_count variable in the template.
