![]() Beta 3 is now available in the downloads section.
Since this is a Beta - theres still a lack of documentation so please make sure you read the following information: Many parts of GARS have been totally reworked which means you need to make a couple extra steps when upgrading. To Upgrade, upload all the latest files to their corresponding locations overwriting any previous files. Go to your product manager and import the latest product-GARS.xml file (choose to overwrite the previous version) IMPORTANT: Regardless if you are upgrading or doing a fresh install, go to your admincp->GARS->modules page and click To reset ALL modules to the default ones. You WILL lose all your previous module configuration - however they wont work if your upgrading anyway ![]() Please note the following changes to your type templates: ALL GARS TEMPLATE NAMES (i.e. the recommneded ones) ARE IN PARENTHESIS NEXT TO THE VARIABLE NAME (i.e. they look like this: Forumdisplay (GARS_forumdisplay) I strongly recommend using the values in the parentheses (though you can actually use any template! If there is no value in parentheses (i.e Showthread and Comment Deleted... ignore it... I don't have custom ones for those yet). If upgrading, you may revert the changes you made to editpost and newthread templates. I'm not using them anymore. Ill start a new thread outlining any known issues. There are still a few - but the feature set is closing up quite quickly. I am hoping that we will be in RC by this time next week. please review the Known Issues thread.

![]() When I go the GARS section of the admin at the top I get the following error message.
inline_input($name, $value = '') { return ""; } function redirect($do,$stopmessage,$var='') { define('CP_REDIRECT', "gars_admin.php?do=$do"); print_stop_message($stopmessage,$var); } } ?> |

![]() ???
Can you post a screen shot? Do you have javascript enabled? Can you try reuploading the files? (may have been a sketchy upload). Thanks |

![]() The Geek, sorry to bother you so much...
![]() In next release, could you also consider introducing stock images like "New Articles" instead of "New Thread" and "Comments", that made a perfect getup in GARS for 3.0.x. Thanks

![]() Looks like several of the issues from the previous beta (inline moderation, using quick reply without it appearing as an actual post instead of an article post, that array_merge error I noted, etc.) have been fixed, so while I only installed this minutes ago, it's looking great so far

![]() O man..... this looks sweeeeet
![]() Would it be possible to have those modules like 'latest reviews' working on vbadvanced? That would make the gars script so much more integrated in the website as a whole. Another request: sort a particular gars forum on date/topictitle/etc. ? A few GARS forums that I use should be sorted on alphabet by default, while others may stay sorted on reply-date. Wasn't this a feature in gas? Great job.... I will play with it later today to check out all features |

![]() Once things settle a bit, Ill do vbaCMPS modules for latest and featured articles.
I was thinking about adding a defualt sort to the type, but never really looked into it. GARS never did it either. Ideally I was thinking about a way to sort alphabetically, however that feature isnt a default in vB from what I recall. I dont think it should be too big of a deal and fingers crossed may have it as a new feature in the next iteration ![]() |
