Issues with installing Orca Forum

When trying to install and run Orca forum I get the following error message, I investigated as many files as I could think of including classes/inc/templates/ etc. and could not see any issue. Thingpage is listed on line 60 in classes! so I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts and ideas.

Warning: require_once(/homes/iteuser/public_html/community/modules/boonex/forum/classes/en/ThingPage.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/siteuser/public_html/community/modules/boonex/forum/index.php on line 60

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/siteuser/public_html/community/modules/boonex/forum/classes/en/ThingPage.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/siteuser/public_html/community/modules/boonex/forum/index.php on line 60

Thanks in advance.

check if ThingPage.php exist here /public_html/community/modules/boonex/forum/classes/en/

Yes Prashank it does, I know there has to be a line somewhere that is missing or misspelled but for teh flike of me I can't see it! ANy other thoughts

What are your php settings?

do you have php module: xsl = xsl enabled?

are all the file permissions correct on that directory and or file?

Newton27 Thanks for the input but in answer to your question the PHP settings are correct everything is enabled that should be, file permissions are set accordinly.

In fact I am now running or have run three different templates and two operate fine..... its only one template that causes the issues.   I was hoping that someone who had Boonex experiance would be familiar with what files would call this function. I am thinking that with that information I could check and see if there has been a corruption on installation.

I could just run those templates that are operating but then that doesn't do anything for the future for me or anyone else who might run into the same issue. Hope that makes sense.

As a side note I have been running Joomla and SMF forums for years and familiar with those file layouts but very new to Dolphin.

Further within the forum index file the following is on:  Line 59 and 60

require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES.'Thing.php' );
require_once( $gConf['dir']['classes'].'ThingPage.php' );

It would have been helpful if you have mentioned you were using a custom template right from the beginning.

Compatibility of templates and problems with templates with the orca forum is a issue that has been discussed in the forums many times in the past.

Boonex has changed the forums at least 3-4 times since dolphin 7 was released.

Your issues with one specific template indicates that the template is not compatible with the forum on the version of dolphin that your running. More specifically, the template was not designed for and not compatible with your version of dolphin.

This is a common problem with many of the free templates that are available. Many are from either Cogzidel Templates or TMDHosting.

You have 3 choices.

1) Remove the incompatible template.

2) Contact the vendor of that template to get a version compatible with the version of dolphin your running.

3) You can try making a new layout for the forum. For that you do the following. In these instructions, templatename is the name of the template your having problems with.

a) Remove the folders modules/boonex/forum/layout/templatename and modules/boonex/forum/layout/forumname_en
b) Make a copy of modules/boonex/forum/layout/uni
c) Rename the uni copy to the name of the template for the folders you removed.
d) Open the file modules/boonex/forum/layout/templatename/perams.php and change the 3 occurrences of uni to templatename.
e) Recompile that forum template.

Hello Deano thanks of posting your response it was a great help but unfortunitely you may not want to assume it was the uni template that was the issue.

However given your input I was able to look deeper and found a line parse problem that probably occured when I uploaded the files via ftp following some local machine editing.The other templates I worked with are simple red and orion none of which were from Cogzidel or TMD and they did work. There was one other template that I hadn't tested yet whch may have an issue but with your guidence I will know where to look for problems.

Good to say this issue is now fixed
