Hide results list by default

Hi,

Quick question: i’m looking for a solution to have no results displayed by default.

For now: i use the shortcode method to display my results. I customizeds the results template in my theme child.

By default, when loading the page, all entries are listed. What i want to achieve is to have nothing displayed until any filter in the filtering section has been activated.

Thanks for your help 🙂

As you are if you are using our shortcode display results method (and therefore our results.php template file), it needs to be edited to look 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.
