Lynne, thank you very much for your attention on this.

I would like to add two new fields to the article:

1) External URL Link - This will be used in the <a href={}> on the article preview title. When the user click on the title header, they would be directly sent to the external url (deal link). I am running the deal site and it is very much needed (currently when the user clicks on the header it will open the article page and i don't want to do that for user friendly purposes)

2) Expired/Active Status - This field will be displayed next to the title in the article preview. If the deal is expired the status needs to changed.

Hope i have given you the detail...let me know if any further information needed...I did looked into the Mods, but couldn't find the one for my need.

Appreciate your help on this.
