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.

Cool looks nice i may have to use. Thanks,

MagicThemeParks · #13 11-01-2009, 02:25 PM

Does the page validate without errors? I haven't added it yet, but I'm planning to do so.

The DEMO is showing 57 errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0

        break;

Below, add:

Code:

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

. . .

My file doesn't contain a case listing for 'bugs.php'. Is there an alternate location where the new code can be placed?

		break;

Thanks. I altered that function file. The online.php page still shows me as visiting "Unknown Location . . . /forum/404.php" Is there something I missed?

Arcade Fire · #20 11-07-2009, 07:24 AM

Recharge once the browser and you should show the current location. I noticed that not always shown in real time, whether you have installed this mod or not.

Greetings.-
