I need a zipcode field with each GARS article ...

Do you have any recommendations on how to best incorporate a new data field into GARS and incorporate that data entry field into the GARS data entry template?

How about a stock set of three optional data fields built in ... with a check box to activate the field on the data entry side and a check box to display in the article header ...

While I might want to use one for a zipcode for other purposes ... the fields could allow an Author Name, Author Bio, and Author weblink ... if they are "phrased" then we could use them for any purpose that we want them to ... and it would allow us to have three built in variables for use in other add-in modules ...

Thanks,
Greg

Working on a solution now Greg :)

Can you hang tight on it or is it abig rush? If its a rush, you can do a module for it, otherwise hang tight :)

No big rush ... I read through the module suggestions in another thread and can not get my head around how the integration occurs in the creation of the thread ... so I would be much happier waiting for a release or two to be able to take advantage of a generic field ...

Thanks for considering it ... hopefully it will be possible ...

Thanks,
Greg
