SUGGESTIONS/FEEDBACK WELCOME FOR ADDITIONAL FEATURES

its been a long time since this MOD was released as PRO, now i have decided to offer this to everyone FREE

just to let people know that 95% of the time a 404 error message will appear due to 2 things

1) how your webhost if configured

2) if you have a VPS/Dedicated server
if this is the case all error codes will work for the domain you want, you may need to contact your VPS/Dedicted Server Provider for support on this issue

Other Info: Header and Title Removed
our team decided to remove this due to a request made by a vbulletin member, understanding that reason makes the error pages more organised and not just a standard vbulletin page as it has been customised to look more like an HTTP Error page using alot of vbulletin template features.

Removed vbulletin Notices for HTTP Error pages
due to this already being available in the header, this was not meant to be part of the MOD, therefore our team removed it

Where exactly should I be editing the files to display my own messages?

[Bluefin221]

This throws up errors on the who's online when I deactivate the mod the errors go away.

The error when trying to view who's online
Error1
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE in /home/myfolder/public_html/forums/includes/functions_online.php(2197) : eval()'d code on line 18Error2

sorry about this issue guys, i changed the filenames thats why the error messages appears, i will ensure that this is fixed for next release

[TalkVirginia]

I added the ErrorDocument lines in my .htaccess and the forum_XXX.php files are in my forum root but whenever I go to a bad page or a page I know I don't have I keep getting the IE error screen "The webpage cannot be found"

Any idea why it's not redirecting to the forum_404.php?

Jim

[DNN]

Do HTTP:// error 404 pages help boost SEO or something? I hear alot of ppl talking about optimizing those pages. I have no clue why.

[downloadsuk]

this mod doesn't work if you are using the .htaccess files for friendly URL rewrites supplied by vbulletin

[Crotan]

Added the lines to the .htaccess,

Uploaded files and uploaded product and no go, It managed to change from my hosts standard ad parked 404 page to now a plain page containing

"Not Found

The requested URL /forums/ouch was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Does this mod work with 4.1.4?

[fxwoody]

Why don't u guys simply use cPanel to make your own error page???

Just a remark ;)

[TeknoSounds]

not everyone has or can afford cPanel...?

[Crotan]

Why don't u guys simply use cPanel to make your own error page???

Just a remark ;)

Well I don't think that's the point of this mod. Its not for custom error pages where you tell someone their a ++++, its for vbulletin template error pages that match the look and feel of your site.

I guess I should also ask if the two errors in that will show on online.php were ever fixed?

I get the two Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE if I enable this mod, so I'm assuming something changed recently or the update never happened for the mod

[danswano]

How to give the error page a title in the browser tab instead of the actual link ?

[sweetpotato]

How do I find the .htaccess file on my server?
Thanks, I'm a novice

[Krisstoffer]

mod works fine here with nginx, only change needed is of course the instructions for apache won't work for nginx but they are simple enough:
error_page 400 /forum_400.php;
error_page 401 /forum_401.php;
error_page 403 /forum_403.php;
error_page 404 /forum_404.php;
error_page 500 /forum_500.php;

You could also go along the lines of:
error_page 500 501 502 503 504 /forum_500.php;

[archet1337]

This mod looks really promising, but I cannot seem to get it to work on my 4.1.4 board.

If I try to point the browser to a page that does not exist it only comes up with a blank page saying "Page not found."

Have tried Chrome, FireFox 4, Opera and IE9. All display the same message.

I'm using vbSEO if that matters.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

[archet1337]

I have done some testing and found that invalid image urls do work with the 404 redirect, but not page urls.

Have also had my host look into this and see if it might be a server-side problem, but they said it probably was the redirect code that was the problem.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so that it redirects all urls, not only images?

Code of the 404 custom page:

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'forum_404');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
// change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('http_error_404',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
// chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');
require_once('./global.php');

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

$templater = vB_Template::create('http_error_404');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

over the next week weeks i'll be looking into releasing a new PRO version

[BrightStar]

Has there been an updated release to this mod as I get parse errors etc when viewing who is online.

Thanks for the mod anyway, it's great work :)
