in the directory menu item you can coose from 5 submissions to 'all' to show. Is there a way to set this to zero so that the page only shows the search box and the result of a search.

there has been no replies to this , does anyone know how to add a zero to the number of view options list?

Unfortunately there is no built in feature for this. The pagination counter is certainly not the way to go for such an implementation.

It would be best to create a template override for the directory layout and only show the results if the search term is being set.

You will have to create a template override for the following layout:

components/com_rsform/views/directory/tmpl/default.php

More on template overrides here:

Thanks Alex,

I have created an overide and have played around with the code. I can get the list to show empty on page load but then the search does not work and shows no results.

This is because I am simply removing the table code so nothing will show.

Have you any idea what I need to add/remove from the file to show an empty table on load but keep the search working?

Thanks

Instead of:

try using this:

That is great Alex, It works for me without the {} at the start and end of the original code. i e just add if(isset($_POST)) at the start of the original code.

On page load the listings are empty and the search works, however, if you reset the form, or if you click search without entering a postcode the 10 most recent submissions still appear.

This was just a starting point for you to implement this according to your needs. You can further customize the condition, for example:PS: You should use the brackets.

Thanks for your time on this, it is greatly appreciated..

Ok,

I curently have the previous code you suggested which works as described. Good but returns the full list on reset.

if(isset($_POST))$directoryLayout = $this->loadTemplate('layout');
eval($this->directory->ListScript);
echo $directoryLayout;

If I change this to

if(isset($_POST) && $_POST != '')$directoryLayout = $this->loadTemplate('layout');
eval($this->directory->ListScript);
echo $directoryLayout;

this does not work, i just get the original view with the last 10 submissions.

it seems the editor removed some of the code. I made some corrections. Have a look again.

PS: I actually tested the script before posting it here, so i know for sure that it works. Just make sure that you are using the latest RSForm!Pro version as well.

Fantastic!

Works perfect Alex, very much appreciated.

My page for this is here if it helps anoyone else to see the result.
