Message if the category is empty was created by Matteo Luca Petitti
Hello, I need to show a message as "no items in this category" when there aren't articles in a category.
I remember that this function is avaiable on the "category management", but i don' t find this option in the K2 component.

Joomla ver 2.5.9 - K2 ver 2.6.5

Thanks for your help!! :woohoo:

Have you found the answer to your question? I also need to post information when the category is empty.

Hello,

You will need to edit your template (or overrides a bit) getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

This is the if statement that checks if items exist -> github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/templates/default/category.php#L132

You can add an else at the bottom and add your custom code inside.

Thank you very much for your answer. Works perfectly!
It works if I have a category display in the menu like this: K2 »Item listings» Categories
How to do it for displaying categories this way: K2 »Latest products from (one or more) users or categories
The changes should probably be made in this file "latest.php" only how?

Exactly, this is the file you should edit.
