Geek Article and Review System (GARS) LITE

From the makers of disco and square dancing comes the LITE, GARS LITE. Released for those needing an article/tutorial/recipe/review/blahblahblah system for only 1 forum, GARS LITE will make your site sing.

To say that GARS is only for articles, tutorials and reviews is like saying spoons are only for eating cereal. GARS can radically transform your forums look and functionality by allowing you to create an unlimited amount of different configurations of phrases, template and modules that can be applied on a forum by forum basis.

Designed with its own module system, you can easily expand and customize your configurations like never before. Modules can be re-used and re-used each time with different settings.

GARS LITE Key Features

• Transform any forum instantly without importing or changing the underlying data.
• Since GARS sits in front of vB, Anything you can do in vB you can do in GARS (user permissions, WYSIWYG editor, BBcode, Subscriptions, attachments, etc...)
• Create an unlimited amount of configurations, template sets, etc...
• Upload default thread header images and create a gallery of images for users to choose from
• Create a standard set of Ratings for each configuration to use (perfect for reviews)
• Page break and navigation system for GARS that span multiple pages.
• GARS LITE comes with 9 pre installed modules.

What you cant do in the LITE version that you can in the PRO:

• GARS LITE limits you to using it on 1 forum.
• Users can not upload their own header images.
• Users may not rate in reviews only authors can.
• The module caching system is disabled

Please note that you MAY NOT remove the copyright at the bottom of the GARS enabled pages.

Check out the in depth on-line manual for information and admin screen shots

GARS requires vBulletin 3.5x and requires no file or template edits.

If you install, do me a please click the freaking install button.

Hi Daten, its not possible with the LITE version as it is limited to 1 forum and thus, 1 location and category.

and how about the normal version? You dont sell it anymore arent you?

[The Geek]

I have closed up the shop door to concentrate on current customers - however it will reappear very soon. If youre in a pinch just PM me over there.

I'm glad you opened the shop again. I looked at GARS Pro & it looks fantastic. I think I'm going to buy it.

I have instlaled the GARS lite and overall I am pretty impressed with it. One issue is that If I put images in the gallery, and choose that, it doesn't put that image in the featured reviews, but instead puts the default image in. Is there a way to change this?

I dont know about Lite, I use to Paid version and you have two options. Add images to a gallery, and specify a Default image for each of your custom "forums".

Get the paid version its 100 times better than the lite.

I have installed this version, and am slowly figuring it out. I think I've got it so far.

My question is about the user end of things. Once it's configured, how do my members access it? Do they go into a specific forum? I tried to make a forum that was called "Ratings Reviews and Evaluations" but didn't see any of the GAR's settings to enable it to be a review fourm.

How do I create the forum itself?

[cookiepants]

Okay I got it LOL. After I set it all up I created that forum, then pointed GAR to it.

Shoot, I should get college credits, and you should be teaching LOL
