Sorry for the ambiguous issue title, but this view field description needs to be altered:

Provide text to display if this field returns no results. You may include HTML. You may enter data from this view as per the "Replacement patterns" in the "Rewrite Results" section below.

Yeah, I don't like the semantics of "returning". In my opinion it would be better to say that a field can "contain" an empty result.

Version: 8.x-3.x-dev » 7.x-3.x-dev

Congratulations for your commit on views! Committed and pushed to 8.x-3.x

I think this would be helpful for 7.x as well.

Thanks Dawehner :)

So now it's committed, this issue gets changed to a version 7.x bug for a backport... then i just post patches in this same thread?

I'll do this next week.

Woohoo. Thanks for attributing the commit to me, very exciting that it shows up in my user profile :)

It's really encouraging to get the hang of the issue queue and patching simple issues, hopefully now i'll be able to help out with some trickier issues. I write a lot of drupal code as part of my day job.

I'll have a look in the issue queue, but if you think of something a bit trickier but still manageable then let me know.

Really enjoyed meeting you at drupalcon by the way :)

@sphism
I try to create tasks for problems in the current code/things which should be done,
so if you want to work on something assign the issue to yourself. If you need any kind of help, don't hesitate to ask in irc.

http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/views?issue_tags=VDC is probably the best way to find issues to work on.
