Hi Mirto,

I think this question has nothing to do with your portlet design. I 
encountered a similar problem.

Example

Assuming a 3 column layout, I want to change it to a 2 column layout if 
the right slots are empty or portlets on the right side do not generate 
an output. This happens if a portlets have some conditions (i.e. the 
reviewer portlet). The 'prepare_slots' script can not detect if a 
portlet generates an output. So the 'hide_columns' script will not work.
