"No content" message in Rx5.7

How would you go about displaying a “No content found” message on an assembled page, when a index in a slot has no content?

[Rx 5.7]

Roz,

You have to use the <xsl:if> tag, which means that you have to hand-write the slot code within “begin XSL” and “end XSL” comments.

I’ve done this, but it’s been a very long time, and I don’t have an example handy.

Hi Roz

You need to create a slot template in the RXROOT\rx_resources\stylesheets\assemblers\rx_Slots.xsl file.

<xsl:template match="rxslot[@template='SlotTemplateName']" priority="10">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="count(linkurl) < '1'">
			<xsl:text>No Content Found</xsl:text>
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
			<xsl:for-each select="linkurl">
				<xsl:if test="not(Value/@current = '')">
					<xsl:copy-of select="document(Value/@current)/*/body/*"/>
				</xsl:if>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Then you can add your template to the slot markup by adding the template attribute

<div slotname="YOURSLOTNME" template="SlotTemplateName" psxeditslot="yes"/>

Cheers
