Create 404 Page · **Released**: 06-28-2010

I am not a proffessional Coder but I just fixed a 404 page for my Forum.
If you want to create one follow me;

Crate a new template wich will called 404_error on your style:

HTML Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
  <head>
    {vb:raw headinclude}
<title>Gabim  404 - Faqja nuk u Gjet</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    
    {vb:raw header}
    
    {vb:raw navbar}
    <div id="pagetitle">
<h2 class="blockhead" align="center">404 ERROR</h2>
					
					<h3 class="blocksubhead">ERROR 404  Page Not Found.! </br> (( PUT YOUR CODE OR IMAGE HERE )) </h3>
</br>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>

Change the text (( PUT YOUR CODE OR IMAGE HERE )) whith your Code that you want.

So Now you need a 404.php lets create one;

PHP Code:


			
<?php



error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



define('THIS_SCRIPT', '404_error');

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

define('CSRF_SKIP_LIST', '');

define('VB_ENTRY', '404.php');



$phrasegroups = array();





$specialtemplates = array();





$globaltemplates = array('404_error',

);





$actiontemplates = array();





require_once('./global.php');



$navbar = render_navbar_template(construct_navbits($navbits));



$templater = vB_Template::create('404_error');

$templater->register_page_templates();

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);

print_output($templater->render());



?>

Now open .htaccess file and add this ;

PHP Code:


			
RewriteEngine On

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.albcoders.com/404.php

nice also used this to do a 500 error page

Can't get this to work (I'm using 4.0.5). This is the error message I get:

Quote:

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 32

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 32

This is apparently the code in question:

Code:

31 // ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
32 require_once('./global.php');

I can change my .htaccess and use your link (to your 404.php) and it works fine. But with my own link to my own 404.php file, I get errors.

This is my .htaccess file:

Quote:

Try this :

PHP Code:


			
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', '404_error');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
define('CSRF_SKIP_LIST', '');
define('VB_ENTRY', '404.php');

$phrasegroups = array();


$specialtemplates = array();


$globaltemplates = array('404_error',
);


$actiontemplates = array();


require_once('./global.php');

$navbar = render_navbar_template(construct_navbits($navbits));

$templater = vB_Template::create('404_error');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

I dont have 4.0.5 my last version is 4.0.3

apokphp · #5 07-25-2010, 06:39 PM

This is the error I get now:

Quote:

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 11

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 11

apokphp · #6 07-25-2010, 06:44 PM

I suspect the issue is w/ the global. I recall reading in another thread that 4.0.5 does something differently in its global calls.

River J · #7 06-28-2011, 06:47 AM

there's easier ways to do this

GamerUnguided · #8 02-06-2014, 05:55 PM

i did this but the only problem is it logs the user out :/

What Would This Be Used for?

ozzy47 · #10 02-16-2014, 09:56 AM

What’s the use?
On a 404 page usually you want to let people know something went wrong and the page they wanted to see is not available.
But after you let him know what just happened, an advantage the 404 page offers is that you are able to suggest other pages he might want to see or give him instructions to get to an active page. Using a customized 404 page, visitors won’t get confused and leave the website not knowing what happened. If you decide not to have a customized 404 page you should know that a non-customized 404 page can look not so friendly.

Customized 404 Pages and Search Engines
Search engines also can benefit from a 404 page. Imagine that a link is broken and it leads to a non-existent page. At this point search engines can’t go any further and won’t index content. If you choose to have a customized 404 page even though a page is broken search engines will see a page that can be indexed and can find links to pages that could benefit from a crawling. This is an SEO benefit!

404 Pages bring credibility
Having a non-customized 404 page looks unfriendly. But imagine a scenario where a visitor ends up on the 404 page and is shown a nice image, some instructions and links to other pages he might be interested in. He will thing that you really care about his experience on your website and probably he will go to a page you suggested and won’t leave your website or hit the back button
