I have another question that might be a piece of cake for you, but a pain in the (!) for someone like me
I’ve created a CMS collection for job postings on my website. But whenever there’s no open job postings I don’t know how to place a “nothing at the moment” message on the collection list.
There is another issue as you do not have any condition that system will recognise that there is nothing. Thats why your text for empty state is positioned out of view (top left corner). You can solve it by adding Switch to your Job item to use it as ACTIVE - NON ACTIVE and with this condition you can set filters. Hope that helps
If you will still struggle you can send PM I can explain or help with details
Dear Stan,
The text in the upper left corner is just a title. I haven’t written any text for the empty state yet because I didn’t know how to do it or how to place it in the center of the collection list box. But thank you very much for sending me towards a right direction and offering me further help
OK so me again. I thought I understood, but I don’t. The Empty State, as far as I see, is only displaying or not displaying the content of the Collection List, but not really giving me any options to include a text that is visible or not visible depending whether or not there’s job postings available. What I want to achieve is:
Open job postings = invisible “there’s no job postings available at the moment”
No open job postings = visible “there’s no job postings available at the moment”
How can I do that? I attach a new screenshot with the text I would like to make visible/not visible depending whether or not there’s open job postings.
Hi @gabsfromvrisch If website user would not see any message as eg. No job offers at this moment they will look for one and if they would not find anything they may thing that site is broken and your client may lose a user. Is good UX practice to let the user know that there is no job. It’s only my opinion
EDIT:
Sorry I have misread your message. You can do that with a description I wrote in response before
hi @gabsfromvrisch explanation is too complex to fully understand how it works. Instead to write full article I had offer PM to arrange online meeting to explain how it can be done on examples I have done in past or recently.
hi @gabsfromvrisch I’m sorry that I don’t want to write a long article and probably offended you with PM but I do help other forum member this way when task is complex and never had problem with this kind of the help. As I have explained you can use switch and I believe you can do it.
