on my homepage? I would like to ad a small advertisement after the first news article on the homepage... Maybe after the 4th article too. Is this hard to do?

This works great, but if I try to put a simple td around the ad to make it look a little nicer, and to center it, it combines with the 2nd news article. Any way to put a simple box around the ad with a background color, and to center the ad? Thanks!

Sorry I missed your previous reply. Can you post the code you're using in your 'adv_portal_newsbits' template?

The wrapper template is going to form the table around the news posts, so you may be better off adding the code with your banner to the beginning of your 'adv_portal_module_wrapper' template with a slightly different <if condition> wrapped around it.

<if condition="$newscount == 2 AND $mods['identifier'] == 'news'">

Ad code here

</if>
