D7 forum fatal Error

So far everything is working on my d7 fresh install with a 6.16 migration. Everything but the forum. so i took it down here is what i got when i had it up

Warning: require_once(/home/maddpoet/public_html/modules/boonex/forum/layout/maddpoets/params.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/maddpoet/public_html/modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/config.php on line 96

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/maddpoet/public_html/modules/boonex/forum/layout/maddpoets/params.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/maddpoet/public_html/plugins/phpids/') in /home/maddpoet/public_html/modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/config.php on line 96

ANy suggestions as to what should i do next? if need be i will do a fresh in stall free of D6migration and loose all my members for a fully working site. Since i have a poetry site the forum is key - help!

so it would seem i am alone on this forum issue as i cant even use the module in the admin panel

If i had to guess its because you dont have a folder called maddpoets  in modules/boonex/forum/layout.

If this is the case make a folder called maddpoets in the layout folder and try to copy what is in the /layout/base/  folder to the moddpoet folder and see what happens.

Forgot to add try setting the UNI template back to defualt for your site then try going to the forums. 

Thank Dolphin_Jay the Uni suggestion worked. However I dont see whay its looking for a folder there or what files i would need to copy to it since I followed all instructions for custom template. It would seem to me by having a custom template i need to add folders and files in places not mentioned? interesting i shall look further, but for know the forum is up!

ok i copied the uni folder from modules/boonex/forum/layout/uni  and renamed it as the same as the template name of the template i have modules/boonex/forum/layout/maddpoets 

i then went back in to the admin and set the template from uni to maddpoets i went to forum management and it came up! i clicked on L[compile Lang:]]En and that went well.

I  clicked on L[compile Lang:]]Ph and that failed. asked me to check permissions.

I added a forum and i still have [[ ]] around my headings. which was not the case under the uni template as i did the same under uni as i did for Maddpoets

i will keep ya all posted as i know u are hanging on the edge of your seat to find out what happens next  lol

There is more to it than just making a copy of the uni folder.

In the renamed folder there is a perams.php file that also needs to be edited. the UNI in there in 3 places need to be replaced with the name of the template.

Also. All folders in forum/layout need to be writable. Mode 777 or 755 if your server does not take 777.

Oh, one more thing. When making a copy of UNI. Do not copy the uni_en folder. Just the uni. Edit the perams.php file as i mentioned above.

Make sure modules/forums/layout is writable. Mode 777.

Make sure all folders in modules/forums/layout are also writable.

Then try compiling again.

Thanks Deno - Ya had the missing part. I didnt  copy the uni_en folder. Just the uni folder, so i was good there. Edit the perams.php, which i didnt do before. over looked it  now its running like a champ. thanks i think this forum will help others

The information in this post should be added to the template customization wiki in trac. I am glad to have found this post.
