Add a 404 Not Found to your forum using your portal
« on: July 03, 2010, 02:41:08 PM »
I hate doing a web search to only find a generic looking 404 not found page.  Well, this code will work on any portal that handles HTML pages, looks good and at the same time no broken or missing pages.

Create an HTML page and name it "404 Not Found".

Add this code to it:

Code: [Select]
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="0" align="" width="100%" summary="">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.chevyavalancheclub.com/images/106189-3d-glossy-orange-orb-icon-signs-no-walking1.png" alt="Page Not Found" /></td>
            <td style="text-align: center;"> <br />
            <font size="3"><span style="color: #4265a7; font-weight: bold;">Wow you found it!! </span></font><br /><br />
            I've been looking for this page since i created it in 2009. <br />
            Sadly, even though you found this page, I seem to have <br />
            also misplaced the page you were looking for.<br />
<script type="text/javascript">
  var GOOG_FIXURL_LANG = 'en';
  var GOOG_FIXURL_SITE = 'http://www.bluedevilcustoms.com'
</script> <script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://linkhelp.clients.google.com/tbproxy/lh/wm/fixurl.js">
</script></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
Replace all URL's, images and text with your own ;)

Open your .htaccess file and add:

Code: [Select]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.bluedevilcustoms.com/index.php/page,page585.html
Replace the link with the link of your own 404 not found page.

Nice but mine doesn't seem to redirect to the error page.

.htaccess  ErrorDocument 404 http://www.thetwoworldsforum.com/index.php?page=error404

Ok I use RewriteRule (.*) (page error here) in htaccess instead of ErrorDocument 404 so it now works. :)

Very well DS.

I used ErrorDocument 404 as google recommended.  Pretty cool there is another way around that.

Hey BD, I am trying to get them to work on the blocks but the script seem to show in the search bar.  :o I doubt it's a SMF bug, or bad script..

Code: [Select]

"So... what do I want to be when I grow up?",
 
"Hmm.",

"I mean, it's not your job to deal with my ramblings.",
 
"And I guess it pretty much *is* my job to serve you.",
 
"But I couldn't get this one little page for you.",

I can see your last post now.  I was able to see your other posts with my phone.

Anywho,   youre using this in a html block?  You mean an html page?


Take the <html>,<head> and <body> codes out of the code since the portal already uses them.

Ok you should see the edit in my previous post. I did what you suggest, the script still shows in the search bar instead inside the textarea
