Geek Article and Review System (GARS) LITE · **Released**: 02-20-2006

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.

Sounds very nice indeed, well done!

I might be keen if I wasn't already using webtemplates...

Though I havent used web templates before... I think they are VERY different concepts. Maybe someone familiar to both systems can comment?

I just upload a new package because I found a typo with the first one which prevented you from adding additional modules to a module set. To upgrade, all you need to do is upload the latest upload/forums/gee/gars/gars_class_admin.php file (replacing your old one).

Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
