Hide mod_flexicontent when item list is empty was created by Ibehem

Hello,

How can I hide a mod_flexicontent when the item list is empty? Should I write a PHP rule code? What should be its content?

Best Regards,

Eric

Hello,
this was reported before, and is marked as an enhancement in our bug tracker,

-- the templates do not check if they were given zero items, so try this:

Edit the template file e.g. tmpl/news.php, and just after:

Code:

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

try adding:

Code:

$items_exist = false;
foreach ($ordering as $ord) {
	if ( !empty($list[$ord]['featured']) || !empty($list[$ord]['standard']) ) {
		$items_exist = true;
		break;
	}
}
if ( !$items_exist ) return;

i will test this when i get more time for v2.0.3

Regards

Hello,

implemented / fixed in r1690

NOTE: in the case that you display category information too, a new parameter was added which you should enable:

Skip category if no items
Enable this to skip printing category information when no items are listed for the category

I'm not sure I was totally clear in my question.

I'd like to totally hide the Mod_Flexicontent and not only its content.

I didn't found a way to use the PHP Expression Rule.

Event when I modify the tmpl/default.php and add directly a return; I got the empty module but it is still displayed.

Thank you again for your help!

Eric

PS: Btw, where can we find the version r1690?

Hello,
the above is incomplete more changes were needed and were made in r1690+

-- if you want you can try to grab current Universal content module from SVN try using it with v2.0.3beta2 or v2.0.2 (first, backup previous module folder)

otherwise please wait for v2.0.3
