EE: Custom 404 page

  Quick Expression Engine question: How to redirect to a custom page if a page/weblog entry doesn't exist?

  Been playing with EE this weekend, i am trying to create pages from weblog entries. (using core)
  The problem is when i point the browser to mydomain.com/blogname/tmpl/QBN i get all the weblog entries and not a 404 page.

  Any advice, tips?

  edit your .htaccess file
  add this to the next line
  ErrorDocument 404 /404page.html

  replace the "/404page,html" with whatever the url you have designated as your 404 page and viola

  tx, version3 but i found a solution

  in EE
  1/ created a 404 template
  2/
  {if segment_2 != ''}
  {redirect="404"}
  {/if}
  in my EE template's at top
  3/ enabled custom 404 in EE template preferences

  • hmm, not working correctlykeiTai
  • Due to the dynamic nature of EE's URL structure, there is no guarantee about exactly what any particular URL segment represents beyond the first segment. Thus, the error can only be triggered by a Template Group name that doesn't exist.keiTai
