Standard Error Page

[dfc005]

Is there some global function or check I can use to see if the current page is an error page? I have a custom right hand menu that I'd like to hide some stuff in when an error page is shown.

I'd also like to know if the same can be found out about the standard redirect as well.

Add plugins at error_generic and redirect_generic and create a variable that sets to true. Check this variable in your templates.

[dfc005]

OK, have created a plugin at error_generic that has this simple bit of code....

$hide_stuff = "true";

And the in my template I have this....

<if condition="$hide_stuff != 'true'">
<div style="width:300px;float:left;margin-bottom:5px;">
$poll_sidebar
</div>
</if>

Doesn't seem to be working though. Doesn't look like the template has the variable set.

Make sure that the variable is in global scope, add the following line as 1st line of that plugin:

global $hide_stuff;

[dfc005]

Nope, still doesn't set any value. I must be missing something....

[Dismounted]

Which template are you putting your code in?

[dfc005]

It's a custom template that gets included via a different plugin. Could that be the problem?

[Dismounted]

If the template is called before the variables are defined, it is not going to work.

[dfc005]

So which gets called first? error_generic or parse_templates?

[Dismounted]

parse_templates

Turn debug mode on and you will see all the hooks that are called and in what order.

[dfc005]

parse_templates

Well then, I can't set a variable in error_generic to be used in parse_templates can I?

Any other ideas?
