In Dolphin 7, all features that are not considered to be a "core-part" of the script are instead treated as modules, which can be installed and uninstalled. This includes the forum, which is called Orca. You can install Orca from administration, tools, modules.

It would appear that you are missing some files in your forum module folder. Try re-uploading the files.

Wow i worked out how to fix it, I looked at the first warning: Warning: require_once(/home/friendza/public_html/utalkit.com/modules/boonex/forum/classes/en/ThingPage.php)   and i noticed the (en) dir after (classes) was missing from my files, so i added the (en) dir and copied all the files from the (classes) dir into the (en) dir and it worked: /public_html/utalkit.com/modules/boonex/forum/classes/en

Forum is running, but i can't manage the forum, when i click on forum there seems to be a error with the manage button.

This is the error: [L[Forums Index]]

That's actually not an error, it's just that since Orca relies on a separate language system of its own, you also need to compile the language for it as well. Click the link that says "[L[Compile Lang:]]en" and wait for the confirmation that the language was successfully compiled. Once done, simply refresh the page and you'll be all set.

This would mean that your server is not properly configured, possible due to one of the following reasons:

a) your filesystem permissions are not correct

b) your php.ini configuration is not correct, which in this case would be allow_url_fopen (which should be on)

c) you recently moved your web site to another location on the server, or to a new domain name and you have not yet cleared the cache (this isn't for your situation)

d) you are protecting access to your web site via password-protection in the .htaccess file, which does not allow some parts of the script to function correctly until this is undone.

You can manage this content from administration, builders, profile fields. It's under the search section.

a) file system permision all Green and OK

b) php.ini allow_url_fopen is ON

d) .htacces - what do i do here to fix the problem?

If you do not know what you need to do in the .htaccess file, this is not your issue. Do the following: navigate to administration, tools, host tools, phpinfo and tell me if it's saying that allow_url_fopen is on. Also, state the numerical values for files and folders.
