#31 - Remove the "There are no items to display" message

Joomla by default displays the message "There are no items to display" when you don't publish anything in a particular section / category. This would be particulary annoying if this message appears in the frontpage.  So how do you get rid of it?

This message is defined in the language file, along with a whole series of words and phrases that Joomla uses. To access the language file, you need to go to Site -> Language Manager -> Site Languages and click on English.

Look for: 

DEFINE('_EMPTY_BLOG','There are no Items to display'); 

 

and change it to (keep the quote marks) 

DEFINE('_EMPTY_BLOG','');

 

Easy when you know how Wink 

As you are there, you might take the opportunity to change any other text messages which are present in Joomla by default and which you have better alternatives for.
