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.

Reece^B, thanks for being a guinea pig.. I'll pass then..

Shame.. Anything else like this? Besides VBDynamics.. Not having a good time with that.

Reece^B · #**124** 11-09-2008, 01:25 PM

Well I went ahead and bought it, guaranteed works properly on 3.7 then.

Is GARS PRO supporting vB3.5.4, I need this article system for various forums (4 to be exact) but I noticed GARS needed vB3.6/3.7.

As my vB licence is inactive atm (owned licence) I made the mistake to install a vB3.5.4 about a month ago instead of renewing and using the latest version. I now have customized a load of the forums and I don't have the time to upgrade the forums and do this all over again and thus wanting to stay with vB3.5.4

How can you just show the titles and not the other part in the forumdisplay?

Hi I was just wondering, is this modification is compatible for vB 3.8.x because it's a really good modification from what I've seen and I'd like to install it but I don't want to downgrade my forum software.

Will this work on 3.8 and whats the diff from this and the one for $37?

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