two category drop down search filter php help!
-
I’m working on a wordpress website using this search facility:
http://spruce.it/noise/two-category-dropdown-search-filter-in-wordpress/
All is working OK but in the last few lines I want to include a line to say that if there are no posts in the two categories, e.g. dentists in brighton to show a ‘there are no posts’ kind of message. My php is very limited and what I’ve tried doesn’t work. Any pointers much appreciated!
I’ve copied the whole page below but it’s the last few lines really that are where it’s all happening …
<?php require_once('../../../wp-blog-header.php'); if (($_GET['category'] != -1) && ($_GET['city'] != -1)): $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts( array( 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'paged' => $paged, 'posts_per_page' => 6, 'category__and' => array( $_GET['city'], $_GET['category'] ), ) ); ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <div id="main"> <div id="content" class="wide"> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <h1><?php echo get_cat_name($_GET['category']) ?>, <?php echo get_cat_name($_GET['city']) ?></h1> <?php remove_filter ('the_content1', 'wpautop'); ?> <h2>These <?php echo get_cat_name($_GET['category']) ?> can help you.
