instead with loop

Dear CDForum,

Can you help me with the following problem? I've tried the online documentation and everything but can't find a solution where I'm sure there must be one.

I have a list of job-openings. They disappear after a certain date. So far everything is just dandy. But now I want a message to appear saying something like: "No openings right now." instead of just a blank screen. How do I go about it?

Cheers,

Can you use something like this:

I'm not sure I understand it, but maybe your job page would start with 'Number current job openings: "N"

<script language="javascript"><!--
var tmp = "{$ foreach x in (all) $}.{$ next $}";
if (tmp.length==0)
{
  document.write("Sorry, currently no job openings<br>")
} else
{
  document.write("Currently ",tmp.length," job openings<br>");
//--></script>

My appologies. Made a typo:

script language="javascript"><!--
var tmp = "{$ foreach x in (folder "jobs") $}.{$ next $}";
if (tmp.length==0)
{
document.write("Sorry, currently no job openings<br>");
} else
{
document.write("Currently ",tmp.length," job openings<br>");
}
//--></script>

(; after write and closing bracket } )

Please change condition folder "jobs" and messages with desired text.

Thanks for the solution!

However, I would like something to work in CityScript
instead of javaScript.

It works fine though, If all else fails I will certainly use this!

Let's hope Citydesk 2.0 will solve all limitations (and even more, that it will be available soon; preferably yesterday).
