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.

Hi Edward,
What would be your desired output if there is nothing to show ?

Losing my mind, could have sworn I replied to this

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?

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

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

Thank you,

Edward.

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?

Edward.

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!".

Edward.

And to refers to another empty totally unusfull feature, I recommend this one :

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)
