Miscellaneous Hacks - Integrated HTTP Errors

I have made this nice mod

This mod will redirect users to a nicely vbulletin formatted error page if they encounter a http error.

It handles:

• 401 errors
• 403 errors
• 404 errors
• and 500 errors.

See the screenshot to see what I mean

This mod requires 2 files to be uploaded. PLEASE READ THE INCLUDED README FILE IN THE ZIP. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INSTALL INFO.

One file is a modified .htaccess file. This will need to be renamed after upload. Please remember to backup your old .htaccess file.

There is a screenie below (Look at the circled items)

Any issues, just reply to the thread

Please mark as installed and consider nominating, and thanks for reading!

ErrorDocument 500 /errors.php?do=500

to .htaccess

that it

Which basically what the modified htaccess file is

I, however, do not know how to use it with nginx. I have only ever used nginx once

error_page   401  =  /errors.php?do=401;
error_page   404  =  /errors.php?do=404;
error_page   403  =  /errors.php?do=403;
error_page   500  =  /errors.php?do=500;

for nginx

ok lets see the changed

Integrated-HTTP-Errors-1.2.zip

1) license field & check URL added ( not needed )
this is a simple URL redirect script for http errors

2) link to your website ( branded option )
i think we would not want to show something like this on a redirect script to be honest it doesnt make it look professional

this mod has not been updated at all accept for 1 extra field entry and a license check URL

so its not worth the download for me

Which is why I said optional update.

TBH - It would have made sense to not send the update email, I know.

the problem with this is your licence url it informing you of all who has installed it
rather than the other way round

this option need to be active only if they enter a key
otherwise it breaches many laws

1) your website URL does not work http://liamwli.co.uk/
2) you need to have a policy on your website that indicate that you collect IP addresses from customers who download your mods, and why you collect them, due to this being a paid option and the fact you use a remote file to get Users IP address

It doesn't collect any IP addresses, actually.

If you really want to know how it works, check the extra plugin.

P.S

My URL does work

yes it does i know it does

the second you install your product it called this

$url = 'http://liamwli.co.uk/liccheck.php';
$fields = array(
            'key' => urlencode($vbulletin->options['liam_bfkey']),
            'url' => urlencode($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']),
        );

your licence key file will display a callback and show the Domain and URL and the licence key, i know this coz i use the same technique

That code is only executed if the license key is set. If there is no key set, then that code isn't run.

in which case you still need to inform your customer by law that this information is held by you, it must be shown on your website policy, if not it breaches laws
