I am recieving an error message when trying to go to the forums.

I recvieve this error message when I try to use the forum.

Warning: require_once(/home/taboomus/public_html/dates/modules/boonex/forum/layout/skin002/params.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/taboomus/public_html/dates/modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/config.php on line 99

Could you please tell me what I need to do to get it up and running.

what is the code-block at or around line 99 of dates/modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/config.php

Cogzidel template.  Notorious for not working with recent versions.

Try copying the params.php from uni to skin002, or replacing skin002 with a copy of uni (and then editing the params.php under the new skin002 to replace all mentions of uni with skin002).

That sounded a bit confusing. 

this is the code surrounding the error

/**

 * include custom template patches

 */ 

require_once ($gConf['dir']['layouts'] . $gConf['skin'] . '/params.php'); 

Where is the params.php file usually located? I can't find it in the files anywhere.

Moved.  Did you try my suggestion?

I can't find the params.php file. Where is it usually located?

I found the param.php file for the uni template but there isn't one for the skin002.

I am copying the uni folder and changing it to skin002. I will then edit the params.php to say skin002 where ever it says uni. I'll see if that works.

The forum opened but at the top of the page is a group of errors.

I suggest following Nathan's advice... just copy the missing params.php file from the uni folder to the skin002 folder... and change references for 'uni' to 'skin002'.

I did that and now it kind of works but now there are some other errors now. Previous post has exact errors on it.

Open params.php and remove any extra space at the end of the file AFTER the ?> 

Then save it and delete the cache (with Admin Clear Cache tool).

Do I need to download the admin clear cache tool or is it already in the program?

It's part of the default Admin tools.  Login to Admin... go to Admin Home... you'll see the Dashboard area... look for "Clear Cache" and click on "All".

I did that and the errors are still there.

well, I've run out of ideas... usually when I see that message it's an indication that a file that I've recently edited has extra space at the end of the file (and something in that space is upsetting Dolphin) so my standard solution has been to simple remove all empty space so the very last character in the file is ">" ... as in "?>"

What's on line 21 of params.php?

Considering an origional copy of perams.php from the uni folder only has 10 lines of code, and this error says there is a problem on line 21 which of course should not even exist, i would say the wrong folder has been copied.
