Custom Error Pages

[tcs]

Customize your 400, 401, 403, 404 and 500 error pages to a vb page with navbar back to your site.

Using a modified Dr Erwin Loh html.php hack.

Instructions in the zip file.

Hope this helps someone.

9 files to upload and 1 template to add.

This is not a hack - just a simple Add On

nice!

On a side note: can I ask you where you got the clock from?

[tcs]

The clock I got over a vbAdvanced.com.

Works great, thank you! :)

How would that hack differ from mine?

Only that they are a different way to accomplish the same effect. One might be easier for some than the other one.

Sorry if you're upset. I can remove it. Make no difference to me.

[AlexanderT]

Not upset at all ;) It might be only be confusing to someone who was looking for a particular hack like this one to find two different versions at the end.

Thank you for this addon! I will install this soon. :)

that is a 404 page, but yet the hack didn't work.. i did as i was told, uploaded all those pages, and created the one template..

could it be because i am runnin with god and not 3.0.1?

Looks like you uploaded the same files for you root folder to your forums folder.

There are to seperate sets of files. 1 set for the root folder and one set for the forums folder.

Check that and see...

Nice hack!

Here is my problem though, the folder "/forums" I have mine named "/forum" for my own reason.

Where in the PHP file or elsewhere do I need to edit? Currently it loads and my page refreshes like crazy trying to find. But If I take the "s" out of "/forums" in the address bar it works fine.

I tried looking, but could not figure it out?

Thanks,

Fiber

You would need to edit the files in the root folder and take the s off the forums path.

look for:

/forums/html_page_error.php

and remove the 's' from forums

[fiber1]

Thanks, the only ones I did not look at.

Isn't it a bit inefficient? It pulls shtml files from all over the place. I'm considering releasing the one I created for my site.

http://www.collegepranks.co.uk/forums/error.php?e=404
http://www.collegepranks.co.uk/forums/error.php?e=403
http://www.collegepranks.co.uk/forums/error.php?e=dsagsdghd
etc.

Okay, so where is it? I like the look of it.

If I don't have a forums directory and my forums are at the root ie. rouseindahouse.com and not rouseindahouse.com/forums/, what changes would I need to make?

[dsboyce8624]

Okay, I have the same issue, forums in the root.

I edited the root files to point to the root and changed the /forums/ files to *.html so they could co exist.

I also use windows, so I had to edit the custom error codes in the server settings.

Works fine, except you need to cache the template.

[Sanjiyan]

how do I remove this hack?

I have deleted the error html pages, and also the html_page_error.php file and also the template, but when I try to force a 404 it still tries to go to a html_page_error.php when it does not exist, I have cleared my browser cache and everything.

[tcs]

Just reverse the install and remove these pages

In the root folder (/public_html) Remove:
400.shtmt
401.shtmt
403.shtmt
404.shtmt
500.shtmt

do you have this for 3.5.4?

[Torqued]

do you have this for 3.5.4?

Good question. Can this be updated to work w/ 3.5.4? :bunny:

[tcs]

That will be no. I added on Zero's WebTemplates which had this built in. I have not looked at it to see what it would take but will if there is enough call for it.

[rob30UK]

I would like to see this on 3.5.4 also....
how can we go about this?

[CSS59]

I would like this for 3.6.4 please

[tcs]

I will fix it up for you this weekend.

[CSS59]

Thanks a ton!
