Usage of no_results in a nesting situation

Hi -

I’m writing my first plugin and I’m having trouble with no_results functionality. The problem only occurs when my tag is nested in another tag. Most notably weblog:entries:

The following outputs ‘Nothing found.’

<div>{exp:retail_locator:results}{if no_results}Nothing found.{/if}{/exp:retail_locator:results}</div>

This is expected since the plugin function results currenly just call $TMPL->no_results(); … I’m just testing.

The following doesn’t output anything

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="pages" limit="1"}
<div>{exp:retail_locator:results}{if no_results}Nothing found.{/if}{/exp:retail_locator:results}</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

I assume the output is blank because EE interpreted the no_results condition for the weblog:entries tag scope and since the entry was found no_results doesn’t apply and so it’s not output.

I’ve proven this theory by doing this: The following outputs ‘Nothing found.’

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="pages" limit="1"}
{if no_results}No such blog entry.{/if}
<div>{exp:retail_locator:results}{if no_results}Nothing found.{/if}{/exp:retail_locator:results}</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

This makes my tag work nested inside weblog:entries.

So the 500 million dollar question is: is there anything that I can work around here? Or do I need to provide my own no_result functionality? What gives?

Thanks, Juergen
