Collection filter buttons - No results to display message & Toggle buttons

Feature Requests Website Builder Request
1

Hello!

I am using the collection and collection filter buttons on my website. And there’s two function I have been looking for, but haven’t found:

  1. When there are no results to multiple activated collection filters, I would like a message to be displayed. Something like “No results match the filters entered”. Is there a built-in sitejet setting/feature, that can do that for me. Or is my only possible way of achieving this, by writing my own code? Anybody know how the collection works so i can achieve this?
  2. Is it possible to set the collection filter buttons so they can be toggled? Meaning if I want a filter to be activated I click once on the buttom, but if i no longer want to search with that filter I click a second time.

Thank you!

Not sure if this is possible at the moment and curious about André’s reply. But would be a cool and helpfulfeature.

As far as I know, neither of these is currently a built-in feature in Sitejet.
There is no automatic “No results found” message when filters return empty – this would require a small custom JS solution.
Also, filter buttons are not toggleable by default. Usually this is handled with an “All” or “Reset filters” button.
Would be a great feature request though :slightly_smiling_face:

+1 from me :+1:

I’ve run into the same limitation in real projects.

A “No results match your filters” message would really improve UX — especially when combining multiple filters. Right now it can feel broken to users if nothing appears.

Toggleable filter buttons would also make sense. Being able to click again to deactivate a filter feels more intuitive than forcing users to use an “All” or reset button.

If helpful, even a basic built-in option like:

  • Show custom message when collection is empty

  • Optional toggle mode for filter buttons

would already solve most cases without custom JS.

Would love to see this implemented :rocket:

+100 for more features regarding the collection items. More button options, filter multiple specs at once and indeed the no results message.

Any timeframe known on when this will be implemented?
