Hello

i need some help, i am trying to display a message when no listings have been added to the favorite list. i am having trouble figuring out how to count the favorite items in list.


this doesnt work but could you give any pointers?
                          <?php if( osc_count_items(fi_list_items()) > 0) { ?>
                                      <?php if(function_exists('fi_list_items')) { echo fi_list_items(); } ?>
                                                                                                                           
                           <?php } else { ?>
                             <div class="favlistmess">
                             <?php _e('You have not loved any listings yet, you do know love makes the world go round?', 'patricia' ) ; ?>
                            </div>
                           <?php } ?>




Thanks

There is no such function yet, will add it in next version.
Easiest way is to do:

$c = 0;
foreach( fi_list_items() as $i ) {
  $c++;
}

echo $c;

I did not test the code so not sure if it works good.

Hi

thanks for the reply but it didn't work. i have been searching for hrs on different forums and it seems that this is the right syntax but its just not counting

when i  echo $c  i get a 0 which i understand but when i echo $i i get nothing :-/

this is what i have done just incase its something i have done

i make a function
<?php function fi_count_list() {
                        $c = 0;
                    foreach(fi_list_items() as $i ) {
                        $c++;
                    }
                    echo $i;  
             }
?>

then this
<?php if( fi_count_list() > 0 ) { ?>
                                      <?php if(function_exists('fi_list_items')) fi_list_items(); ?>
                                                                                                                           
                           <?php } else { ?>
                            <div class="favlistmess2">
                             <span><?php _e('You have not loved any listings yet, you do know love makes the world go round?', 'patricia' ) ; ?><i class="fa fa-smile-o"></i></span>
                            </div>
                     <?php } ?>


@BabyDunk
You want to echo variable $c, that is counter.

aww right, i was getting that mixed up from reading posts on other forums, thanks for clarifying that. i have done both anyway, when i put variable $c  i get 0 no matter how many listings is in the favorites list :-/

@BabyDunk
Ok soon I will add counting function to plugin.

Thank you Frosticek
