I want users to edit their own content. Therefore I created a link to a List&Search Type which redirects automatically to the appropriate form. But what if no content exists? I only get the message that "There is no result". It would be nice to have a redirection to the form to create the content if it doesn´t exists.
Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi Skepsis
The auto-redirection for "No Result" is already done, and will be available in our next major release.
For now you could use the "Include File" option, and add your custom code there.
YOUR_SEARCH_TYPE > Configuration > "No Result" > Action
Then you go to your template src files, and you will see the "/includes" folder, with the "no_result.php" file. (if you need to enable this action only for this search type, you must create a folder with the name of your search_type inside the /includes, and then put the "no_result.php" file in this folder.)

Saba.
Thank you very much for this useful information.
It´s amazing that SEBLOD has a solution for almost everything.

I "create a folder with the name of your search_type inside the /includes, and then put the "no_result.php" file in this folder."....
Then, I try to search a record and for not found system does not skow my form for insert a new record.
Many thanks in advance for your kind reply. Best regards, Louis
you can try using "Auto redirect" set to Form, if your problem is the same as Skepsis.
To use no_result.php for redirection it is not enough to copy it, default file only outputs no result message, you will also need to place redirect code in that file.
Hi Saba,
Are there any news about the auto-redirection for "No Result" ?
You said it will be available in the next major release... Which release do you mean? ;)

I found this snippet that you can use in no_result.php for setting up your redirection with the Joomla API:
// joomla 2.5 $app = JFactory::getApplication(); $link = 'http://www.domain.com/'; $msg = 'You have been redirected to domain.com'; $app->redirect($link, $msg, $msgType='message');Its for J!2.5 but I think it should work for 3.x also.
I try the code and now all right, redirect work well.
Best regards, Louis
p.s. to Skepsis: please put solve in this topic. Thanks
glad that the code snippet helped.
I had never used it before myself. So through this thread I discovered ome new redirection possibilities with Seblod :-)
Maybe some additional infoormation if someone is wondering why it does not work.
Be sure that you take the "no_result.php" file which is located in the template assigned for the "List" view, not for the "Search" one...
The "List" view must contain at least one field.

Lifesaver, skepsis!! :) That solved it.
