Get a page with no results, instead of showing no results can we show some random galleries on page?

if ('<!--TOTAL_ITEMS-->' == 0) {

JS redirect to /?force_template=random_galleries

}


ща course you need to create random_galleries template

How do I do a Js redirect?

there are a couple of ways to do it

If a search query returns only for example 5-6 galleries, is there anyway to just add random galleries on the same page after those 5-6 galleries?

yes, but it'll add a lot of load


if ('<!--TOTAL_ITEMS-->' < 5) {

<thumb ....

}

I was just using 5-6 as an example number here, as you know it could be 2 or maybe even 10 depending on the results of the search. Basically after we have the results (could be 0, 2 or even 20) just add X amount of random galleries on the same page. Any way to achieve this without adding too much load on the server?

JS redirect, iframe include and so on

Do not add random thumbs into the same template

Is there anyway to achieve this in sphinx? Then issue with the js redirect method and iframe is that if a search query has a few results by redirecting to another template it won't show the relevant results if we have any.

relevant? you said you needed random
