Hide initial results on first page load (continued)

Sorry, that last thread was closed but I’ve discovered a problem.

The if/else check at the beginning is failing if I’m filtering for a category but the search text filed is empty.

if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>&nbsp;</div>'; 
} else

What does the url query look like?

It looks like this:
http://www.site.com/private/pages/my-pages/advanced-search/?_th_private_page_category=recentnews

I also have tags using a similar URL:
http://www.site.com/private/pages/my-pages/advanced-search/?_th_post_tag=activity

No I’m afraid not, it’s on the client server.

It looks like it might work if I knew how to check for contents of the categories and tags boxes instead of the text search field.

The code you provided looks like ($sf_current_query->get_search_term()==””) checks to see if the text search field is empty. Is there a similar query to check if the categories selection is empty? And the tags selection?

Many thanks.

This thread shows you how to find the different valid term names:

Using the print array initially to show them, and then you make some PHP to use the name you got.

Thanks for that! Got it working by testing for ($sf_current_query->get_field_string("_th_private_page_category")=="Page Categories: All Page Categories")

You can close this now, cheers.
