Thanks for the suggestions.
1- already done however there are not custom forms. I would suggest the hack over at .org to do this (it just inserts default text into the editor as a guide). BTW: Thats a really old version of gars 2- You can do this 3- ok, ill check it out. Seems like an easy enough module. 4- CUstom fields for comments doesnt exists in this version. Its been suggested for the next version. 5- How would you suggest this is done? |

Thanks for your reply TG
1. You wouldn't happen to know the name of said hack? I would really like to see the separate forms. 2. About uploading photos for the review are you referring to main form/edit box or the initial article icon that is chosen/uploaded? I mean something similar to how (dare I say) PhotoPost Classifieds has for the photos you can add for each post (separate from the article portion). The user has the option to upload 1-6 photos and they all appear as thumbnails with 1 larger. You can then click on any one of them to see the larger version of each. 3. Sorry my mistake...I'm still quite new to GARS and have yet to intsall/purcahse it so I'm basically peering in the window. I was trying to reply to one of my own test posts and saw no ratings options (duh!)....I see now that I tried to reply to another test post on your front page. ----- ps - would you (anyone) happen to know if there is any way to get the subforum names to display in front of the subject of a post when using the vBAdvanced News module? For example, now if I were to have the following sub forums that I specify the news module to show on the front page: News - Local News - Politics News - Entertainment Reviews - Restaurants Reviews - Bars Articles They would only show the "subject" of my post on the on front page at the top of the post. I would like it to show what (sub)forum it came from as well. Is this possible? I have asked over at the VBA forums but sadly no response yet. |

1. Dont know the name of the hack. All it does is start up your new thread with preset text. THere arent additional forms.
2- The way you would do this by adding attachments just like in vB. That gives you far greater control of the amount of images and types of uploads they can make. 3- I looked at your thread and saw the ratings... are you sure? Sorry, cant help with vba. Dont know the answer |

Thanks for your reply TheGeek. Understood on all your points. My rationale for wanting to have the photos separate from the main form and having separate forms was to keep a well structured and uniform layout/appearance to all reviews. My hope was/is to make it easier for the end user to
follow
and be easier on the eye.
Any chance on getting google maps integration in a near future release? I think that could be a nice value add to GARS |

There has been the occasional discussion about it, however since I don't really know anything about it, I dont think I could make the module. Maybe another user could give it a whack?

#1. I think that's the "Extra Threadfields Lite". The "Pro" version has more options for a fee.

Thirding the request for Google Maps integration. It would double the utility of GARS, especially for what we're reviewing on my site.
