I need three ad positions on my three-column site (banner next to the logo, skyscraper at the top of the right column and a square MPU in the body).

Since Newsportal largely ignores the main Joomla template, the only way I can figure out how to drop the ads into the Newsportal page is via the three Module Position Zones.

Unfortunately, three ads in three different positions on the page means I have to use three Modlue Position Zones, which means there's none left to pull in other Joomla modules like polls, recent comments, static content and so on.

So, two questions.

1. Am I using Module Position Zones correctly here?
2. Is there any other way to pull in Joomla modules to compensate for the limited number of Module Position Zones?

Ideas, anyone..?

1. Yes, you are.

2. A lot of us have similar problems. There isn't much you can do right now. We have been told that the next release of news Portal will have additional Zones and module positions. So, we wait.

We have been told the next release is soon, but without a firm release date.
