I was able to bring an article and all the menu and attached modules of a test site by creating an article/menu/category Error.


I simply add the url of that article in a custom 404 page in Redj component by adding —>

Probably not the way it work but this can allow me to present an error message page with all the surrounding context module I need.

The only problem is to display your dynamic {error message} in the article or anywhere else?

Any Idea?

Thank you for your answer, but how do you bring surrounding modules Menus, header, footer and other, if you don’t use my trick.
Using the article ID bring the article and else but not the surrounding necessary module.

Using my trick work, but no way to dynamically output the error message.

Do yo think using thetrick is a problem or can generate bugs ?

It can be a great easy way that can replace the normal Joomla way - docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Custom_404_Error_Page
For now I use that way to create my custom 404, I will wait for your answer to us Redj

I think it will be a great addition to your software if you treat that trick as a real capability. It will make the possibility to add easily an in template, in context (with menu, logos et surrounding modules) custom 404. Another advantage to do it with your system is the capacity to have a multilingual custom 404, I’m not sure how it will work with the Joomla way.

One question, if this system show ONLY 404 error the fact to include the Error message {errrormessage} are not really important as you can customized it the way you want ?
