how to create custom 404?

[Pippo3000]

hi, is there a way to create a custom 404 page? I do not like the 404.tpl. is there a way to create a 404 page using CMS and then direct 404.tpl and/or 404.php to that CMS page?

 

Thanks

Phil

But you can modify 404.tpl page to show your CMS content... you don't have to create separate pages etc.

thanks. But I would need to create a CMS page called 404 which I configure to my needs, right? Can you give me a hint what to change in the 404.tpl to redirect to the CMS page then? Thanks

You can redirect customers with this simple script:

 

<script language=”JavaScript”>
self.location=”PAGE_URL_HERE”;
</script>

 

you have to put this code into the 404.tpl file. I'm looking for some other method in prestashop classes, maybe i will find it

 

but i suppose that this isn't what you exactly expect

great. Thanks a lot. So I delete all major content in the 404.tpl and just copy that code above?

 

And no I do not need any classes fix. Too complicated for me ;-)

yes you can remove all 404 content

[Pippo3000]

does that apply to the 404.php, too? realized that the 404.php is shown and not the 404.tpl

[vekia]

ahhh i just realized that you use 1.4.8 ? not 1.5 ?

[Pippo3000]

yes. 1.4.8.2

[vekia]

hello

 

i checked prestashop 1.4.8.2 files and it works exactly the same as it works in 1.5.x

 

404.php

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');
ControllerFactory::getController('PageNotFoundController')->run();

 

 

PageNotFoundController:

public function displayContent()
{
 self::$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'404.tpl');
}

 

sot as you can see, this is 404.tpl located in your theme directory...

I wanted to customize my 404 page, but I cannot localize the code for the background image (bg_404.png).

I have a different image, but it is too large, so I wanted to edit the width code for this.

Where can I find this? tpl nor php file is containing this code.

[vekia]

what ps version you use? and you default template?

[Miniwheels-online_com]

Sorry, indeed, I use 1.5.4.1 with the default template.

hello

 

i've noticed that your 404 page is customized:

Yes, I repaced the original image file with this one, but I cannot make it smaller.

With regards, Marcel

Vekia, I had a brainwave.... yes...

Just made the original image smaller... so easy...

[vekia]

it is backgrund so in this case just... upload smaller image

this is the easies way to achieve what you want

Hi Vekia,

TY very much!!!

Call your content in the tpl file templates/errors/not-found.tpl :

{* 16 is the CMS Page used to store the message *}
{assign var=cms_content value=CMS::getCMSContent(16)}
{if $cms_content.content}
	<div class="contentCms">
	{$cms_content.content nofilter}
	</div>
{else}
	{* default message *}
	<h4>{l s='Sorry for the inconvenience.' d='Shop.Theme.Global'}</h4>
	<p>{l s='Search again what you are looking for' d='Shop.Theme.Global'}</p>
{/if}
