[CLOSED] Question about 404 page

[rooon]

Hello,

Today I coded this UDT {redirect_301 getpage=$smarty.get.page} for using on the 404 page. This will 301 redirect non-existing page url's to an alias that is specified in the UDT. If you do not specify the url, then the page will not be redirected.

Code: Select all

$moved = array(
#######  BEGIN REDIRECT LIST  #####################
"products/item/old-page" => "new-page",
"contact/form" => "contact",
"about/address" => "about-us",
#######  END REDIRECT LIST  #####################
);
$getpage = (isset($params['getpage'])) ? trim($params['getpage']) : '';
$info = pathinfo($getpage);
$ext = (isset($info['extension'])) ? '.' . $info['extension'] : '';
$dir = (substr(dirname($getpage), 0, 1) != '.') ? dirname($getpage) . '/' : '';
$getpage = $dir . basename($getpage, $ext);
if ( array_key_exists($getpage, $moved) ) {
   $gCms = cmsms();
   $smarty = $gCms->GetSmarty();
   $contentops = $gCms->GetContentOperations();
   $content = $contentops->LoadContentFromAlias($moved[$getpage]);
   if( is_object($content) ) {
      $url = $content->GetUrl();
      if( isset($params['assign']) ){
         $smarty->assign(trim($params['assign']), $url);
      }else{
         header( 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently' );
         header( 'Location: ' . $url );
      }
   }
}

Array
- Use the array as: "non/existing/url" => "alias",
- Each line must end with a comma
- The url must be relative to the cms root
- Do not use a leading or trailing slash
- Do not specify .php, .html, # or ? query in the array list

My question:
When cmsms forwards a non-existing page to the 404 page, is then the header set to 404 page not found? Or is it only an internal link?

This question because I do not want a header with 404, followed by a 301.

Thanx in advance for your reply.

Update: the end-user is not familiair with htaccess and therefor I was searching for a simple to manage solution for him.

After searching the cmsms 1.11 files I found this (semi)code

Code: Select all

if exist('error404')
   // next header with content of page error404 (index.php)
   header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
   header("Status: 404 Not Found");
else
   // next header with default text (misc.functions.php)
   header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
   header("Status: 404 Not Found");

The answer of my question:
There will always be a 404 header if the page doesn't exist (with or without the 404 page). Ofcourse, that's the way it's supposed to work but for me the UDT is not working the way I want.

So I have to think about another solution. In the config.php maybe?
