Hiding Modules

Sometimes it is desirable to hide certain module areas if there are no modules assigned to that region. You can hide these areas by using the mosCountModules function.

<?php if (mosCountModules( 'right' )) { ?>
  <tr>
    <?php mosLoadModules( 'right' ); ?>
  </tr>
<?php } ?>

or:

<?php if (mosCountModules( 'right' )) { ?>
  <div>
    <?php mosLoadModules( 'right' ); ?>
  </div>
<?php } ?>

If the mosCountModules function returns a value greater than 1, the table cell will be displayed. If there are no modules defined for the "right" position for this particular page, then the cell will not be displayed. This is a good technique for increasing the horizontal screen width on certain pages.

Note Table cells will not be displayed in Mambo 4.7 (once this is released). In 4.7 the only tables are those that are correctly displaying tabular data.
