Feed block custom display

[Goza]

{{if !empty( $records ) }}
	<div class="ipsType_center">
		<h2 class="title">{$title}</h2>
		<p class="desc">See what other people saying about us.</p>
	</div>
	<div class="ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone" data-ipsgrid data-ipsgrid-equalHeights="rows">
		{{foreach $records as $record}}
			<div class='ipsGrid_span3 ipsBox'>
				<div class='ipsPadding'>
              	<blockquote>
					{$record->content()|raw}
				</blockquote>
              </div>
			</div>
		{{endforeach}}
	</div>
{{else}}
be the first person
{{endif}}

How do I use {{else}} statement in a feed block display. It will not display at all for any of the database that I created along with the block itself.

Haven’t tried but my guess is the block gets suppressed when there are no records, so the code isn’t even executed.

Shucks. It really does look like the block gets suppressed. I tried replacing ! with no ! returns empty.
