Perfect 404 Error Page · **Released**: 10-09-2009

Hi!

This is my first mod.

The common 404 error page, makes visitors close our website since it has no navigation. In this way we lose many users as our url has been changed wen remove vBseo, tFseo or other causes.

The modification is simple, create an error page with the internal browser and offer a google search box.

Step 1 - Add New Template
Title: custom_404

Template:

PHP Code:


			
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat">The requested URL was not found on this server.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1">
<script type="text/javascript">
  var GOOG_FIXURL_LANG = 'en';
  var GOOG_FIXURL_SITE = 'http://YourSite.com';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" 
    src="http://linkhelp.clients.google.com/tbproxy/lh/wm/fixurl.js"></script>

<dd><LI>Back to <A HREF="http://YourSite.com"><b>home page</b></A></dd>

<br><br>   
  

<dd><LI><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-***********YOUR ID***********";
/* 728x15, creado 13/02/09 */
google_ad_slot = "9714452317";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></dd>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

Edit:

http://YourSite.com - change for the url of your website two times
google_ad_client = "pub-***********YOUR ID***********"; Enter your PUB number or delete the following if you want to display advertising

PHP Code:


			
<br><br>   
  

<dd><LI><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-***********YOUR ID***********";
/* 728x15, creado 13/02/09 */
google_ad_slot = "9714452317";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></dd>

Step 2 - Upload 404.php file

Up the attachment to the root of your forum.

Step 3 - Add or change your .htaccess

If you have the file, add the following:

PHP Code:


			
ErrorDocument 404 http://YourSite.com/404.php

if you do not, you can upload the attachment or create it with this content.

Try to work accessing a non existing url
Example: http://www.YourSite.com/tsdsd

DEMO: Sorry, Remove.

Is there any way of getting a report on what URL might have been requested in order to be redirected to this 404 page? After installing the mod I notice that the WhosOnline page will show this 404.php on occasion, and the page being viewed mentions 'Unknown Location.'

UPDATE: I notice that the online.php page gets listed as this 'Unknown Location -- forum/404.php' within the Who'sOnline. It will list myself as viewing the 404.php page, while I'm actually viewing the online.php page. Any idea on how to fix this bug?

Update2: Could the reason that the online.php page is being erroneously marked as 'Unknown Location - 404.php' is because my online.php page contains some modifications to its template?

Update3: Uninstalled. Hope everyone else's 404 mod is working okay. It looked very nice and did its job, but would cause erroneous 404 markers in the Who's Online page. If it gets a fix I'll be happy to revisit it.

Who's Online Modification

If you want to show who is browsing this new page of yours, just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:

Code:

case 'bugs.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
        break;

Below, add:

Code:

case '404.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = '404 page';
        break;

Then find:

Code:

case 'modcplogin':
            $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['moderator_control_panel_login'];
            break;

Below add:

Code:

case 'custom_404':
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Error Page';
            break;
