I’m using SC for editing entries. I’m calling in the entry id through segment_3.  If segment_3 doesn’t return entries, is there a way to show a message?  I’ve tried the following without success:

{if no_results}
        <p>Put message here.</p>
        {/if

If you have the latest build, you can add

require_entry="yes" 

to your safecracker, and this will trigger the no_results block, making it an “edit-only” form.

Hi Rob and thanks for the info.

What exactly is rendered on the page in the event an entry doesn’t exist?  Is there an error message?  I don’t want my users seeing a blank page if they’ve accidentally arrived at a URL with an invalid entry_id in the segment.

It’ll just show whatever’s in your no_results conditional.

Ah, okay, so conditionals do work.  They just require the require_entry=“yes” parameter.  I missed that in your original answer.  Thanks so much!  I’ll test this asap.

Right, without the require_entry param, it assumes you want to add a new entry if there’s no valid entry specified.

I’m still having trouble getting anything to render.  Blank screen.  Would you mind checking this fragment and telling me what’s wrong with it?

{exp:safecracker id="edit_profile" channel="golfers" return="signup/step3" preserve_checkboxes="yes" require_entry="yes" entry_id="{segment_3}" author_only="yes" safecracker_head="yes" datepicker="no" error_handling="inline"}
    
        <input type="hidden" name="title" value="{title}" />
        <input type="hidden" name="url_title" value="{url_title}" />
        
        {custom_fields}        
        {if safecracker_file}
            {error:g_photo}    
            <p>
            <label for="{field_name}">{field_label}:</label><br />
            {display_field}
            </p>
        {/if}
        {/custom_fields}
                
        <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" class="submit" /></p>

        {if no_results}
        <p>Message goes here.</p>
        {/if}

    {/exp:safecracker} 

Thanks!

When you say blank screen, do you mean that nothing outside the safecracker tag prints out?

No, everything else renders properly… just nothing from the SC loop.

Consider me stumped. Can you PM me a URL I can take a look at?

Hey Rob.  I figured it out, and, of course, it was my fault.  I thought I was logged in, but wasn’t.  I need to set this page up to display a message when logged out.  Thanks for your time.

Ah, that’s right, the form won’t display at all if you’re logged out.
