Using the new Version 1.6 and wanted to know the best way to manage 404 Errors.  In previous versions, I used the custom 404 management in the Site Admin settings to assign a template and custom text upon 404.

What are the main differences between the new Error Page Content Type and the Custom 404 Handling in ver 1.6?
Is it just the ability to pass Smarty and assign a custom title?

thanks!!

I was wondering the same thing as I had issues using Custom 404 handling not being able to add new content. (http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... icseen#new).

Anybody has documentation or guidelines on how to use the new 404 handling feature in 1.6.x

Thanks

The content-type Error-page is a regular content-page, and will work alike...

The global settings 404-page is NOT a content-page, and will break i.c.w. the print-icon or search f.e. as they work based on content-pages.

The 404-page from GlobalSettings will be removed in future releases, as the error-page content-type is its replacement.

Doing a search/print action works correct then.

For using this type of content-page, simply create a page, select the errorpage type, and select the 404-type.... Save the page, and it will be the 404-page shown.

Great, I'll check it out!

Ronny, what else needs to be configured in order to actually have the error page show up?

does it require an entry in the .htaccess file as well, or something in the config.php file?

I don't think there are any changes you have to make, if you are having problems it may be that you have the custom 404 checked in the global settings page...

swdmedia,

nothing needs to be setup other then creating the page. You can test the page by opening a page on your site, and just type some additional text behind the address-bar, that will kick the 404-page.

why content-type error-page (and also the custom 404) doesn't show the menu when used with one of the templates of the site ? wouldn't it be useful ?
