If you want to add your own stuff, like more ads and different pics then go 4 it.

Added validation to form...

[Robru]

Thanks for this hack :)

[bashy]

Nice addittion, but why is there a google advert at the bottom of the error html

[Deepdog009]

Hi Bashy

Your question is about google banner...

Thats added there for YOUR use... add your own adsense info there...

When your mysql is down and the Database error page pops up the probability factor says that some will click on back button and some will click on submit and some will click on google adsense ( fill in your account code ).

Put your own google adsense info in the red below...

google_ad_client = "pub-0000000000000000";


Enjoy the forums;)

Nice idea! This is definitely an improvement over those boring, default database error messages! ;)

[Shazz]

Ive seen this done in the past, but this one looks the nicest :)

[Sofia]

Yeeaaa. Thanks a lot, DeepDog :) Me too, I didn't like the look. Now, it's beautiful :p

Installed!

[maxicep]

thanks

[rjmjr69]

WOW something I have wanted for awhile I hate the plain error screen. Going to install now thanks

Ok you say in your directions above that all is needed is to install two files but there are many more than two included?

[LordDB]

Nice Mod, thx,:), but where do we edit the Google code, and add what we like, as I can't see it on the 'staff_submit.php'

Also, am I understanding correct, that once both files are uploaded, that, apart from the email address edit, it's ready to go?

Cheers!

[Philipaclayton]

haha this is quality!

thanks!

daPLAYBOY its on the other file...

Check the zip 4 the only HTML file ext. and look near the bottom of file, then replace google code with your own ADSENSE code...

There's only three files that really require attention...

staff_submit.php
image_match.php
database_error_page.html

I work several J.O.B's so if I have time I shall update this with more pic choices and other add on stuff...

By the way I HATE DATABASE ERROR's, thats why i done this...

Good Luck ;)

[HMBeaty]

Very nice....

[FreshFroot]

[PoetJA-1975]

I've actually just finished edits for the database error message.
This one looks lovely though - A nice modification to have!

Thanx for sharing.

Jacquii.

One question: I see the captcha image verification.
Does this modification mesh with the NoSpam! hack?

[LordDB]

Thx, Deepdog009, had a long day, forgot to place that one in edit form!

By the way I HATE DATABASE ERROR's

me, too!:)

Many thanks, for the contribution!

[gforce75]

Very good. I get annoyed by seeing that regular vb page. I'll try this shortly.

[rjmjr69]

Ok so exactly what files out of the 10+ that included need to be uploaded?

Great little mod - I've installed it on my Forum http://jpicforum.info/includes/database_error_page.html
Question though - how do I change the left image? I want it to be a bit more "customized" so I made a different image for the left side...

Thanx -

PoetA-1975 take a look at the image name and clone that name over 2 your new image.jpg and then upload new .jpg file 2 the same directory as the original image...

Good Luck;)

[Dannyloski]

Ohhhh, this is nice ... I'll be installing this and customizing the crap out of it to make it look super awesome, lol ... Nah, but I'll be customizing it to give it more of a match to my Forums ... Great job man :up:

[Dannyloski]

Well I installed it and modified it ... Now I have to test it out and see how it looks (have to create a DB Error) ... Wish me luck, lmao ...

Dannyloski if Google doesn't want ads in error pages...

Quick and easy solution, extract or delete Google adsence info at the bottom of Html Error Page...

Thanks 4 the heads up...

I will release an updated file..

[Dannyloski]

Yeah I know, it kinda sucks that Google doesn't want Adsense in Error Pages :( ... I think this was just recently added cause if you look at the top of the Terms Of Service Link I posted it says "Updated - We have made revisions to this agreement in the following sections: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15." ... Section 5 is where it now contains the info saying you cant have Adsense in Error Pages ...

[Deepdog009]

DELETED Google ads per users...

Added several more options...

Working on redirect option...

Download new file and read instructions...

Good Luck:)

I have a question, is it possible or does this mod match the vbulletin style used on ones forums? Thats the only thing stopping me from installing this hack.

Majest sir,


this mod doesn't use your default style settings when outputed...

this mod uses vBull's original data_error_page.html file with modifications...

data_error_page.html file only activates when server database is on the blink... { forums cant be accessed }...

styles only work when forums are Alive and kicking... {database error = forums are dead at the moment, until server is back up and running without errors } ...


It is possible 2 modify the look {style} of the data_error_page.html using CSS...

Give it a go :D

[parabat]

Great little mod. Will make my errors look not so "bad" :up:

[anupam_luv]

Any equivalent mod for vb4 suite?
