Couple of questions!
1) Where do the custom fields appear on the review/article page itself? They appear on the input form, but then are never seen again. Am I missing a toggle somewhere?
2) Is there any way to have a member's reviews (or articles) listed in a profile tab on their member profile? Thanks! |

1: Go to the ACP -> GARS -> Modules -> click the module set containing the custom fields -> click the Custom Fields link -> tick the Yes box for those custom fields you want to appear on the page -> Save.
2: No, you'd need to do something like this: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=165554

I'm trying to follow those directions, but the last step doesn't match your description. I've done this: Go to the ACP -> GARS -> Modules -> click the module set containing the custom fields I get a page where I can select in dropdown menus where I want various modules to appear on the page (in header, right of content, etc.). I don't, however, have any checkboxes for custom fields, or anything in which I could click a "Yes" box. Am I doing something wrong? |

Click the Custom Fields link, not use the drop down menu.

Ah, I'm not being clear.
There is no reference to custom fields at all. No link, no checkbox, the words don't even appear on the page. Here is a screenshot of the page at the end of "ACP -> GARS -> Modules -> click the module set containing the custom fields". As you can see, "Custom Fields" doesn't appear anywhere. |

Double check that you did all of these steps when setting up the GARS custom fields:

As the custom fields appear on the input form, the step that was probably missed is the third one, i.e., the one where you posted a screenshot. Go to the ACP -> GARS -> Modules -> click the module set containing the custom fields and look for a Custom Fields link. If you don't see it, try looking at a different module set. If you cannot find it, and want me to investigate, PM me admin level ACP access with Can Admin GARS permission.

No worries, Morgan, I figured it out. Thanks for the help!
I don't suppose there's a way to make those fields clickable/searchable is there? I'm using it as a reviews system, and in the custom fields I'm entering Author, Publisher and so forth. It would be cool to click on the author's name to see all reviews of products by that author. |

Untested, but one idea would be to created your own template, use it in the ACP custom fields settings, where the $value is surrounded by an A HREF anchor tag that links to the vB search.
