Total/all results conditional

Garabedium 6 Mar 2014 23:24 question, complete

Is there a conditional / way to check if all results/entries have been returned (if a blank search was done for example)?

Something like:

[if total_results == absolute_results] No categories selected. All entries returned. [/if]

   Well, not exactly. But you can check if there is a query present in the URI. For example:
   
   

   {exp:low_search:results 
      {if segment_2}query="{segment_2}"{/if} 
      status="not closed" 
    } 
      {if count == 1} 
        {if segment_2 == ''}All entries returned{/if} 
      {/if} 
      ... 
    {/exp:low_search:results}

   Would that work even if encode query is disabled?
   
   I'm using categories and dropdown selects for search:

   So the URL ends up being: /search/results?require_all=category for a blank search (no categories selected).

   Ah, no. But if you move the require_all="category" parameter to the Results tag instead of having it in your form (which by the looks of it is perfectly possible) you can use {if current_query_string == ''}All entries returned{/if} instead.

   That's exactly what I needed! Thanks!
   
   Moving the require_all parameter to results and using current_query_string did the trick.
