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!".

And to refers to another empty totally unusfull feature, I recommend this one :
www.nonumber.nl/extensions/whatnothing
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: 0.581 seconds

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
