how do I make module positions hidden in a template until they are required. i.e. I might use a module positions to show a module for one menu item but now show when used with another menu item. when I currently add a new module position to my template it shows even if no modules has been assigned to it.

Hello

The Joomla Position control has predefined background and min-height properties. We added them so you can see the position in Themler and navigate to it and move if needed.
You can simply remove background and min height (under Shape Options >> Size and Position) to make position invisible if empty.

Thank you,
Olivia

Is there a way of making a column collapse allowing the page to flow full width if the module positions are not use, the same way they would work in artisteer

Hello Martin,
the Bootstrap that is used for Rows and Columns in Themler does not allow to collapse empty columns, I mean if column does not include module.
You may consider creating two templates (with sidebar column and without sidebar) and assign them to different pages in Joomla.

As an option you can put two controls into the same column
and use float: left for first one (e.g. Joomla Position).
