Hello,
I am trying to display a message on the list page when there are results listed. I know that it states "No records found" when there are no records, but I am looking to display a message when there are records listed on the list page. I am not looking to use the "Display message on web page" event, but but display the message in the "message" field on the list page. PHP Runner 6.0
This is what I have for no results:
$xt->assign("message","Search revealed no results");
Thanks in advance.

I recommend to check this article that explains how you can add new variables to the template and assign values to them:

Hello all...again,
I am having a hard time with this...and hoping you can help. I looked over the template page and could not make sense of it. Like I mentioned before, If the list page returns 0 results, then the $message field in on displays "no records" or whatever I need it to display. If the list page shows 1 or more records, I need the $message field to display "records found" or something like that. I have tried multiple things with no luck. The latest thing that I have tried on the List Page:Before Display
if (("records_found") > 0)

{

$xt->assign("message","Search revealed records!");

}

else

{

$xt->assign("message","Search did not reveal any records");

}
Am I heading in the wrong direction?
Thanks for your help!

{

$xt->assign("message","***Search revealed records!***");

}

else

{

$xt->assign("message","***Search did not reveal any records***");

Cristian,
Thank you for the quick reply; unfortunately that did not work. I copied and pasted your code into List Page:Before Display in the events area and it did not work. When there are no results listed, the code works; it states "Search did not reveal any records", but when there are at least one record on the page, it does not state "Search revealed records!"
Any more suggestions?

The message template variable is automatically handled by PHPrunner. When records_found is greater than zero message is disabled. As workaround create a new template in the HTML code (for example {$my_message}) then enter this code in the Before display event:

if($xt->getvar("records_found") > 0)

{

$xt->assign("my_message","***Search revealed records!***");

}

else

{

$xt->assign("my_message","***Search did not reveal any records***");

}
$xt->assign("message","");


Place the {$my_message} var outside the message block.
