You are right, people who have bought a license.

Thats too funny!
Maybe there are two different GARS sites? I can't see a legit demo or any info on GARS confirming its ready for vb4. I'm guessing its the owner of GARS) asks if we are interested but provides no link (confirmed). So we need to google GARS only to find a site with dated info and a goofy download link requesting money for what?

For those familiar with your GARS, this may be a no brainer but for those not, is it ready for a production site? From my perspective, GARS appears to be dated and unclear if it is ready?

Anyone care to enlighten the unfamiliar, I'm interested in something that works for vb4. Out of all the hype here, It appears Adrian is the real deal.

Cheers!

To make things a bit clearer for you.
GARS was formerly developed by thevbgeek and because he couldn't spend the time to continue development and support he's given the site and products over to Morgan(Calorie).
Sadly at one point the support and development stopped and the latest working version is for 3.x.
Last thing she has done was a non working beta (alpha) version for 4.x.
But nonetheless GARS as a product is still her property and not a free add-on.

Thanks you for the explanation.

Personally,
I'm not looking for a fee add-on here. I don't particularity care what something costs as long as it works and fits into vbullein 4 without major problem. Does GARS? no one seems to know.
A bit more transparent for GARS would be a cool. Asking people to buy into it without any info is pretty strange.

Nobody is asking you to buy it, I even don't recommend it because right now it's not supported and development has stopped since a long time.
For me, the best way to go is the forum mods product, it comes very near to the gars functionality and if all bugs are ironed out it could be even better.

I'm only commenting on GARS because someone else in front of me asked for a link. The Product Review mod is okay but is setup for xml importing. This is fine for some types of reviews but for the products I am dealing with, never have xml feeds available. I need the ability to be able to copy/pastes content when creating the product in the CP. The only way to do this with the Product review Mod is raw html. That would take for ever.
Copy/Paste , I can add very fast by highlighting, and dragging into the editor and save. Its fast enough and works this way. If it had that, I would be all over it.

Unless someone has rewritten GARS, its dead. The official site does not host a working version. There are 3 possible solutions (in no particular order):
1. TedS his Product Review Forums (vb4)
2. Chris his forthcoming reviews software (vb4)
3. Forumsmods Advanced Content System (vb4)

All 3 addons are in development. Ted has released the most recent version two days ago. Adrian (forumsmods) has released a beta. And Chris is working towards a beta.

Ramsesx · #**219** 01-26-2012, 12:31 AM

Teds product is vB4 only.

Yes, my bad.
