Displaying results on load

I think I may have found a work around by setting opacity: 0 on #search-filter-results-1751 ID in css by default for the results page, then when someone clicks on one of the filters the opacity changes and shows the filtered results. If theres another way let me know,

Thanks,

Are you using our shortcode display results method? If so, edit the results.php file to use code like this:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1024)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
  // your template archive code/loop OR results.php code here
}

Change 1024 to the ID number of your form (from the form shortcode).

Make sure you are working on a copy of the results.php file in a search-filter sub-folder of your theme/child theme folder, and not the original in our plugin template folder.

Hi ok i can try that, but the opacity: 0 on the css seems to do the trick, bit of a fudge but seems to be ok. The opacity changes when results change on the page so by setting it to 0 by defaults gives a blank results page until filter options applied, giving opacity 1.

Hi, yes your right editing the results.php worked better, placed in child theme.

Thanks,
