As while I do not get an answer how to do it properly, I had to hack it
the bad way.
I put
if($this->oDataStream->aCriterias['search_parts.itemnumber']==''){return
'';}
in function _render(), in class.tx_rdtlister.php.
Please save me from doing such a dirty hacks, and tell me how to do it
properly:)
Dmitri.
