No Locations Indication in template

[jsirish]

Add some language to the default template indicating when there are no locations created or meeting the criteria to show on map. Currently seems to be confusing to people installing the module for the first time.

Would this be fixed by adding default records similar to the Blog module on dev/build?

That’s one way to do it, would work well for initial install of module.

However, I was thinking of a scenario where locations are more fluid - maybe one day, there’s a couple mapped locations, but the next there are none. Would be a simple message like “No locations have been posted, please check back soon”, and would skip all of the JS script execution.

So something like this (only requiring js if there are locations from the getter method) :

<% if $AreLocations %>
        <div id="form-container">
            $LocationSearch
        </div>

        <div id="map-container">
            <div id="map"></div>
                <div id="loc-list">
                    <ul id="list">
                        <li><img src="locator/images/ajax-loader.gif" class="loading"></li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    <% else %>
        <div id="no-locals">
            <h3>Sorry, there are no locations at this time. Please check back later.</h3>
        </div>
    <% end_if %>

Yeah exactly. But we may need to disable the JS init call in the controller as well so we don't get a bunch of JS errors without the required Divs.
