Description

With the plugin List you can use a template.
If there are no results you can set the alternate value that will be displayed.
But this value won't be display using the template design but as an element on its own.

Use case:
I want to create a dashboard with several gauge where 0 items is a valid value that lead to specific design with conditions.

Just to give an idea:
0 item = green background
1 item = warning background
>5 items = red background

The Alternate value should be used in the template as a value and not as a string on its own.

Solution
Workaround

With the actual if there is no items (0) it is possible to include the design AND the logic into the ALTERNATE parameter... But this is a real pain (not all is possible) and create a lot of duplication.

To use "0" as a value there is a workaround.
{CODE()}<span>0</span>

The rest while complicate can finally be done using Smarty conditions and templates
