disable/enable component instead of delete if component is empty - datiswous - 2012-05-01
I find it always illogical that when I empty the content of a component, the component gets deleted. If I want to set this component again after some time, I might have forgotten the name. Then I have to check the theme-file again for the name. If I really wanted to delete it, I could have used the delete button, which is also present.
A workaround is putting the text <p></p> in the component I want to keep, but not shown. I could also delete the component code from the theme.
* Would be better to be able to disable and enable components via a button
* and/or the component automatically gets disabled (instead of deleted) when I empty it's content.

A better way is a comment <!-- -->, as an empty <p> might still change the layout (margins, etc.).

Ok, thanks.
