Hi,
I’m using [ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”foo”] and it’s working well.
However I’d like to modify it’s behaviour a little by getting it to print a message if there are no events in that category.
Is this possible? Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
EE should load a ‘content-none.php’ template file from within your theme if you have one, that should display that no posts are found for the shortcode.
Is that not happening currently?

Hi Tony,
no for some reason the template isn’t loading – though I’d forgotten about it’s existence I had created and added content to it, which is not being shown by the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode,
any idea?
thanks
Andrew

Hmm, ok so where exactly are you placing that template file? (Root of Child/Parent theme etc)
What currently shows when there no events, nothing at all?

the template is at rootof the parent theme – and nothing shows at all when there are no events – not even in the DOM inspector. I know that’s not much to be going on!

You have your own custom content within content-none.php right?
If you install What The File and reload that page on the front end you’ll see a new menu bar item that shows all of the templates loading – http://take.ms/v0uYP
If you view the page using twentyfourteen (you can preview the theme from the admin if preferred) or similar do you see a message stating nothing was found?

Man, wish I’d known about What the File before!
– doesn’t seem to be picking up my content-none.php
Twenty-fourteen is giving me the nothing found message.
thanks,
Andrew

Hi Tony,
I’ve fixed this issue – embarssingly was down to misformatted shortcode – blame this one on user error – sorry to have taken up your time,
Andrew

No time wasted here 🙂 I’m just glad your up and running.
Can I ask what the problem with the shortcode was? ” instead of "?
Something to note from your initial post that I hadn’t noticed, category_slug=”foo” you don’t need the quotes around the attribute value unless you have spaces within the value, it may not have caused problems previously but if a formatted quote gets in there it breaks the shortcode.

It was curly brackets – schoolboy error!
