Hi All,

My Project has a Front End View layout - View My Details (Fly) which when I call it from a Menu displays a blank screen - IF there is no existing record to display. Kind of obvious I suppose, however if I call the Edit My Details in a Form I can successfully enter the details.

Summary: if I call a Front End view (Fly) that has no record data it does nothing and I get a blank screen.

Thank you,

Edward.

Losing my mind, could have sworn I replied to this :unsure:

Anyway, so I guess I have to modify a Controller so that if there is in fact nothing to show (i.e. No records found) it either displays a simple 'No records found' or redirect to another article/page. Only not sure if this is the best solution?

:lol:


Active your error reporting when you get a blank screen and post the error.

Anyway, I think I already solved this one in local, but please report me the error.

Am attempting to enable error_reporting using error_reporting(-1); in Component and in template index.php to no success. Also errorlog from CPanel shows no errors visible :huh:

Can you please suggest the best place to insert error_reporting(-1); to ensure errors are displayed?

Thank you,

In the main controller of your component.

mycomponent.php (In FRONT and BACK)

So the errors are visible only when you load your component.

Ok, things that make you go Grrrr. Inserted error_reporting in controller back/front. No change, no output, no error.

Jocelyn, just out of curiosity, if the controller is asked to show a Record with no data what should nothing to show ;) look like.

And of course.. any further suggestions? Re build?

Fixed.

Please regenerate.

The only affected files are :

classes/jmodel.item.php
classes/jmodel.list.php

As in the Will Smith film: Legend. (thank you!)
Fixed. So answer to the long running question "What should I expect to see? Nothing - an empty layout!".

I recommend to read and post a comment ...

By the way I appreciate and highly recommendate NoNumber cool extensions !!

To finally answer you Edward, I totally understand that is an important question to handle all possible pages that the user can access. (Or robots)

[FIXED] FE Item View not showing on empty record.
Time to create page: 0.103 seconds

Let me first state that this is an amazing and fascinating product exactly what I was looking for. In just a few hours (listening to the very well made and clearly understandable videos learning doing) I completed and installed my first component. I am now in the second refining phase. I will make a recommenation in JED. Thanks for the effort in creating such a great product. Incidentally some of the best Joomla extension I use are of French origin !
