Empty page for empty categories

Hello,

when i click the categories of my shop that are empty, i see an empty page.
[img size=Here] www.fiorionlinevotadoro.it/new/ [/img]
Is there anyway to have a message that tells to the customers "there are no products in this categories"?


Thanks

Perfect!

Thank you!

This isn't working for me.

Did it but i see no effect. I also so no effect when altering tables in order to get show the product info below the image (read that in another post).

It is as if I am changing the wrong file that has nothing to do with this.

<?php } else {
echo "<p>There are no products in this category yet, please check back later.</p>";
}
$html = ob_get_clean();
if(!empty($html)){ ?>
  <div id="<?php echo $this->params->get('main_div_name');?>" class="hikashop_category_information hikashop_products_listing_main">

It was the template problem. I didn't specify which to choose. Thanks!

Hi
The text message is working fine as Nicolas has described it.
I have used a text variable LS_EMPTY_LIST, because I have a multi language page:

<?php }else{
echo "<font color='#FF00EB'>";
echo JText::_('LS_EMPTY_LIST');
echo "</font>";
}
$html = ob_get_clean();

Is there a chance to show a MODULE , ideal with a BACK button in that module, if the category is empty?
I did not find a way with the ADVANCED MODULE MANAGER.
Thank you
Lutz

Grazie Nicolas,

its working great.

Hi,

I tried to find the exact code on that file, but only found
}
}

$html = ob_get_clean();

It seems the code has changed. I tried to put the code before
$html = ob_get_clean();

but it didn't work. Where to put the code for empty categories here?

Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Nicolas,

in the view product/listing I can not find the exact code but very similar:

if(!empty($html)){ ?>
	<div id="<?php echo $this->params->get('main_div_name');?>" class="hikashop_category_information hikashop_categories_listing_main">
		<?php echo $html; ?>
	</div>
<?php }	?>

Hi,

The given code should work fine, are you sure that you are editing the view in the correct template ?

Hi,

I double checked and I did everything as described. There is only a small difference in the code I found in my listing view (as I posted before).

Hi,

yes I am sure and I placed some html code to verify it.

Before editing anything the code looks like the 1st attached file (I am using JM Creatrix template from joomlaman.com).

Link is attached in 2nd file. link attached to the issue ticket

Hi,

did you have the chance to check the code?

Hi,

the problem was that I filtered product & my template in views. But I didn't realize that still category/listing.php and product/listing.php were in the list. So when I tried it out, I used category/listing.php and that was the problem.

Now it works.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I used the above code to add a note to empty categories which worked great but I have now spotted that the same note shows at the bottom of every product as well now. Any idea why this is happening? I only want it to show on empty catagories.
