making a poster item non selectable if

Archived

finally the last component in this channel!! i got the search working BUT one thing i dont like.

if there are no search results i have a “no results” image on the poster screen.

how can i keep this from being clicked on and the viewer is brought to the springboards, and empty one obviously.

i have the xml coming back almost empty besides this image, maybe is it possible to set it up so if it doesnt send back a certain variable it wont be selectable?

i will piddle thru the code to see but was wondering if anyone else has done something like this

Just check it on the isListItemSelected() event and don’t run the springboard code if it’s your “no results” item.

thanks endless but for some reason it didnt work that way for me but after printing and printing i found where it was…

now this could be cause i did some changes in the search screen that it wouldnt work as you described but what i did was on the spring board screen i added this

vidTitle = showList[showIndex].Title

  if vidTitle = "No Results Found" then
         print "Don't show Springboard because vid Title = "; vidTitle
         return -1
   end if

hope that helps someone…

I concur, I took a similar approach - well done.
