RSS list page.

[tzyganu]

In the template that lists the available RSS feeds, app/code/Magento/Rss/view/frontend/templates/list.phtml, there is this:

<?php if ($_categories || $_misc): ?>
    CORE RSS FEEDS HERE
<?php else: ?>
    <p><?php echo __('There are no Rss Feeds.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

This means that if there are no category feeds and no miscellaneous feeds the user sees a There are no Rss Feeds message.
but In the following scenario I think the message should not appear.
Let's say I have a custom module that contains one or more RSS feeds. And I want it displayed in the same page. I can do this by adding my own block with my own template in the content section of the page via a layout file.
But if I only want my RSS feeds enabled and all the core feeds disabled I see the message then my feeds listed below.

To avoid this, right now I have to change the template mentioned above.
I think there is a need for something like this:

<?php if ($_categories || $_misc): ?>
    CORE RSS FEEDS HERE
<?php elseif(!$this->getHideEmptyMessage()): ?>
    <p><?php echo __('There are no Rss Feeds.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

This way I can call $block->setHideEmptyMessage(true) on the block from one of my extension files and hide the message if needed. It does not have to be a real method. A magic getter/setter will do.
