If there are no featured listings in a category . . "No listing found" appears

If there are no featured listings in a category the wording "No listing found" appears.

This is a really silly thing to happen and is meaningless to a user - it causes confusion and common sense means that no text should appear at all.

 

I agree with you Rogerb, the best way is to hide this bloc if there are no featured listings. same for next and preview button of the slider, they should apear only when there are enough featured listings for the relevant category.

 

You can remove "Featured Listing" page by creating custom menu. when there is no featured listing on your site.
Next and preview button of the slider only display when there is a listing to show on the slider. Without listing they will disappear.

 

Please re-read the issue again Nitesh - "If there are no featured listings in a category the wording "No listing found" appears."

Why would I want to remove the featured listing page?

 

You can remove it manually
Go to the Dashboard >Editor > taxonomy-listcat.php
and follow the instruction as shown in image given below

 

Thank you Gourav but I'd really like to change the wording to something like 'Why not upgrade your listing so that it will appear here'. This would possibly act as a sales feature.

Where can I find this text please and any chance that something better can be incorporated in the next release of the theme?

 

Support - where can I find the variable to change the text shown rather than just delete it?

 

Go to the geocrafttheme\library\text_domains \ template_path.php
and edit text from line number 31.

 

Sounds like a great feature to add. I'ds like this too.

 

Thanks Nitesh.

Would be great to have this added in the next theme update instaed of having to code it manually for each install.

 

Thank you Nitesh,
When editing file, at line number 31 I have showing,
define('BLG_ARC',__('Blog Archives',THEME_SLUG));

Where as at line number 61 I have showing the message I was wanting to edit,

define('NO_LST_FND',__('No listing found.',THEME_SLUG));

Could you please confirm again the line to edit,

Thank you

 

@tobyb,

'No listing found' text is available at line no.31

Check image for reference

 

Hi, enclosed screen shots of my file codes, something a bit different!!

 

In your template_path.php that text is available at line no.61, So change that text from there.

Note:- Your server created extra blank space in template_path file, Please remove blank space manually.

 

Sorry Gourav, could you please explain which blank spaces to remove and how did the line move from line 31 to 61, is there 30 blank spaces to remove.
Thank you.

 

Hi again Gourav, I do not understand, please could you advise, I have a screenshot again from line 1 to 32 and there is not enough spaces to allow the edit line to move to 61, is there a problem with my server that I need to contact the provider?



This is a screen screenshot from line 31 to 61 where the edit line now is showing!




Thank you.

 

Yes, just remove the blank spaces between the lines. Although it would not make any difference but its good to keep the file as compressed as possible without blank lines in between.

 

Thank you Neeraj, I actually replaced the file with a new one from the latest download, but have an ongoing problem with edit this and sent pm.

Many thanks
