Hi there,

is it possible to hide positions in the blog/post templates whenever there is no active module within the position ? This would be a feature I would very much appreciate !
And even better: If I put a 3-grid, and only fill 2,the empt one should collapse ?

Thank you !

Hi Thomas,

The empty module position itself should collapse but not the empty grid cell.
Could you please explain in more details exactly where you located the position control and what area did not collapse? A few screenshots should be helpful.

TKPAW,

In general, the position is collapsed, but not its wrapper. I've asked our developers to check this issue.

Hi!
I agree that this would make sense and a nice feature. Currently I have a section set up on the home page for featured articles. If there is no featured articles, then there is a big empty unnecessary space. Hope this was added to the enhancements.

thanks

This is a very important feature for many webdesigners. When will this be implemented ?

Thanks, Idso.

Hi Idso,

This feature is already implemented. The empty position is collapsed. The feature of collapsing empty Block or Grid is in process.

It would be great to have some default positions that are standard in Nicepage templates as currently I would have to add a position manually to every page just to add some breadcrumbs.

Same request/question here. In almost all joomla templates positions are specified and they are only rendered if a module is enabled for that position. Typical joomla templates has php conditionals of:

<?php if ($view->containsModules('banner1')) : ?>
<div class="art-hmenu-banner1"><?php echo $view->position('banner1'); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

That is from an artisteer created template. nicepage has a block with the the position contained within the block.

I'm creating a page width block, with the "position and widget area" block header inside of it. I do note that if I make the size of the block small that a larger module will grow. But I can't set the size to zero. It will only set the height to 64. So if the module is unpublished it then has an empty row 64 pixels high.

Hi,

The empty position itself is collapsed. I assume that you mean the empty space visible when no modules are added to this position. At this moment, the control that contains Position cannot be collapsed, or its height cannot be adapted when the position is empty.
