A screenshot illustrating the problem

With the new templates, in results' view in OPAC (having OPACXSLTResultsDisplay set to 'normally') the (un)availability of items is not displayed correctly: if there are no items available, Koha still displays "Availability: Copies available: " (cf. screenshot), whereas it should be "Availability: No items available:" etc.

Apparently the dereference of SEARCH_RESULT.available_items_loop in opac-results.tt is not interpreted correctly (available_items_loop list is empty but [% IF ( SEARCH_RESULT.available_items_loop ) %] is interpreted as true. 

A very simple patch follows.

This patch didn't apply for me ("Patch format detection failed"). I see that the fix is a very simple change. Can you explain how it works?

I have just uploaded this patch with the header (sorry for cutting it off)--it should apply smoothly now. 

There are apparently some problems with variable scoping / dereferencing in the SEARCH_RESULT.available_items_loop construct.  

Previous (i.e. 3.2) the behaviour was: if there are no items attached at all (just the biblio record) or no item is available (e.g. all items checked out) then "No items available:" message is displayed bellow the title etc. on the collective search results list.  As I look at the new template, now it should be the same.  

BUT is not.  Even if there no items in available_items_loop, the result of the test [% IF ( SEARCH_RESULT.available_items_loop ) %] is positive (I do not know why) and you get "Copies available:" message.

To see this try with records with no items attached both in Koha 3.2 and in 3.4.

So, what the patch does is: it checks explicitly if the first element of the array available_items_loop exist (instead of checking if available_items_loop is not empty).  It is less elegant, but it means the same and it does work as expected.

With OPACXSLTResultsDisplay set to 'normally', the OPAC search results correctly displays "No items available: Checked out (1)".
