Using [if] [else] in pods template

    Hi there!

    I’ve been referring to this Pods Documentation article to figure out [if][else] template structure for a CPT called careers.

    It all seems to make perfect sense, but my code seems to only display the [else] template part. It does this for each career. So, if I have two careers posted, it shows the “no careers” message twice.

    What am I doing wrong? ??

    [if career]
	[each career]
		<div class="careers" style="width:220px; display: inline-block;">
		<h3>{@post_title}</h3>
		<p style="color: #2c353c;">{@career_type}</p>
		<p style="padding: 30px 0px;">{@post_excerpt}</p>
		<a href="{@permalink}" class="more-link;">Apply</a>
		</div>
	[/each]
[else]
	<div class="no-careers" style="width:100%;">
	<h3>No careers posted at this time</h3>
	<p style="padding-top: 30px;">We're not actively hiring at the moment, please check back later.</p>
	</div>
[/if]

    Displayed on page with shortcode [pods name=”career” template=”Careers”]

    Thanks so much in advance for your help.

    So, it looks like I didn’t quite read the documentation properly. I see now that [if][else] is intended to be used for fields or taxonomies within a custom post type, not for displaying custom post types themselves.

    Is there no way to display something if there are currently no Careers published using Pods Templates?

    Hi @refine-graphics

    Is there no way to display something if there are currently no Careers published using Pods Templates?

    Yes you can! The Pods shortcode supports a “not_found” parameter.

    Hey thanks @keraweb, I tried that out.

    Got it to work showing a basic text message, so that’s great!

    Hoping to add some styling to this message. The docs say supports HTML, but every time I try to add HTML to the not_found message, it no longer works. Here’s my full shortcode:

    <div class=”careers-container”>
    [pods name=”career” template=”Careers” not_found=”<span style=”background: #f5f5f5; padding: 15px; font-family: allumi-std,sans-serif;”>No careers posted at this time. Please check back later.</span>”]
    </div>

    See anything that could be messing it up?

    Thanks again so much for your help!

    Hi @refine-graphics

    You cannot use double quotes if you already use them for parameters.

    So it should be either:
    not_found="<span style='see quotes'>"
    Or:
    not_found='<span style="see quotes">'
