Hi everyone!!
Does anyone knows how do not show a module when it doesn't have any information to display?
I'm searching on the web but I can't found anything about it.
Thanks.

What kind of module do you not want to display?
If you show the container of a module, and the module doesn't inject any content into it, you're still going to see the container. But, if you don't show the container and there's no content, I believe that the module effectively will have disappeared.
If you want to show the container, but only when it contains content, I think that would require modification of the module's code. I'm sure that it could be done -- you'd have to determine (inside of the module) if there is content and set the module to not be visible (perhaps you could change the view permissions) if there is no content -- but it might not be a particularly easy thing to do.
Perhaps if you could give us a few more details -- which module, why you want it to be invisible, etc. -- that might help with an answer.

Joe, thanks for answer.
The module container we need to display because of the layout site.
About the problem, for example I'm using the announcement module and sometimes these stay empty, with no announcements.
In these cases I need that the module (container and content) will not be displayed.
And this will happened with another modules like Link, Survey, and so on.
I wondering that I really will need to change the code's module, but maybe another one can give other option.
Thanks again.

Hello,
There isn't a way of doing this out of the box, but if you want to modify the source code of the modules you may be able to do the following:
Assign each of the modules with no container - or a transparent container
Change the module code so that the data has new css classes attached to it
Add these css classes to the skin.css file and add the styling that you need for creating a container
When the data is displayed the container will be styled, when it is not displayed the container will be blank
- I don't know how you will go about attaching css classes to data however
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi,
you could modify the skin file to hide empty panes. Just add visible="false" where the id="X pane" runat="server" is. That way the pane will not show until you add some content in it.

Wouldn't that just make the pane always invisible?

Hi Joe,
No it makes the pane invisible only when a module is not added into the content pane. - It doesn't however make a module invisible if it doesn't contain any content,
