Custom HTTP Error Pages · **Released**: 10-11-2005

This is a re-write of a hack I made for vBulletin 2.x.

What this hack does is use vBulletin to generate HTTP error pages (such as the 404 - Not Found error). For those of you trying to get an all-vB-based-site, this addition will help complete your quest. Also for anyone who wants a nicer looking HTTP error message than the standard blah.

Note: Your website needs to be on a server that uses a .htaccess file, a file located in your root public directory. This may only be servers using the Apache HTTP server, I'm not sure if any other HTTP server, like Microsoft IIS, uses that or not. Some more notes on this are included in the instructions.txt file.

There are no vB files to modify. There is one file to upload, and one product to install, which will install several new templates and two plugins. The plugins are for Who's Online display. The templates contain the actual messages. No existing templates are modified.

Special thanks to KirbyDE for showing me how to group templates using a plugin rather than a code modification.

This hack has now been re-written to use phrases. If you have a previous version, here's what you can do to upgrade.
1. Upload the new httperror.php file.
2. Add the product-jjr512_httperr.xml, overwriting the existing. (All old non-used templates should be removed automatically. This version uses only two templates: HTTP_ERROR and http_error_bit.)

The first thing I originally tried, which is the bit of code you said is wrong, does actually work.

Well, let me rephrase that.

It works without using the construct_phrase function.

This is what I'm using, and it works, and is about to be uploaded:

Code:

$error['title'] = $vbphrase['error_title_' . $e];

The hack is now updated to use phrases for, I believe, all text displayed.

If you have an earlier version, upgrade instructions are now in the hack description above.

Is wrong. Try:

Code:

$error['title'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase["error_title_$e"]);

Hmm, why should it be wrong?

@JJR512
Wasn't the previous version a product as well?
Then you don't have to worry about old templates or such; product management will take care of that.
The User just has to reimport the XML

I didn't realize that. So when you import a product, using the overwrite, it will also remove any templates with that product's name that are not in the new version of the product? Wow. Great stuff!

JJR512 · #36 10-17-2005, 05:10 PM

Note: The product file has been updated to correct the "refresh" and "back" messages be actual links that will refresh the page or go back to the previous page. The links were accidentally converted to text when I was converting the original templates into phrases.

If you had the 2.1.0 version, you only need to re-add the product file, overwriting the previous version. For any other earlier version, download the new httperrors211.zip file and follow the same instructions already posted for upgrading to 2.1.0.

I also am getting a lot of people reported as "Viewing HTTP Error" on the Who's Online page, when i know they are not seeing an error. I don't have anything in my .httaccess file either.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
