Page Not Found override not working for me

[Spinner]

Hi all,

I'm running 1.3.5 and all seems to be working fine. However, I'm now trying for the first time to actually get the page_not_found.php to work; unfortunately my override for define_page_not_found.php doesn't seem to have any effect on what is actually displayed. The Define Pages Editor shows my edited HTML code, but the site still doesn't show it when I open http://www.beebasic.co.uk/store/page_not_found.php.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

you might want to add this using phpMyAdmin:

insert into configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) values ('Define Page-Not-Found Status', 'DEFINE_PAGE_NOT_FOUND_STATUS', '1', 'Enable the Defined Page-Not-Found Text from define-pages?<br />0= Define Text OFF<br />1= Define Text ON', '25', '67', now(), now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'0\', \'1\'),');

Hi DrByte,

Thanks for that - that worked fine! However, how can I edit the list of page links that appears beneath my text? In fact, how can I edit my Site Map in the same way? It currently shows "Page 2", "Page 3" and "Page 4" in the list.

Thanks again,

Spinner

Just read the Define Page Status page more carefully and managed to turn off the unwanted links - I should have noticed that before! However, could you tell me how I can modify the Site Map link list, adding links and generally beautifying it? Is such a things possible?

Thanks!

You can edit your site map by modifying your customized template file at:
/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_sitemap_default.php

I have had this problem since i upgraded to 1.3.5 i did the fixes but my page still not working! All other define pages work fine. Any ideas?

Finally found the problem!!!!

I have installed the SEO URL Re writing mod and it places a .htaccess file on the root. I think this is over riding the Error 404 Document.

I simply added the following line at the top and it works fine!

ErrorDocument 404 /page_not_found.html

I just found the switches for turning on my "page not found" in admin config- My store -Missing page check.

And switched the setting in the Admin - Config - Define Page-Not-Found Status.

I put some text in the define page area and with a test it showed up.

Now I see the site map is added below my text. But the EZ pages are not showing up.

You can edit your site map by modifying your customized template file at:
/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_sitemap_default.php

I had already done the prior code patch for EZ pages and they do show up on the actual site map but not in this define_page_not_found site map.

Did I miss something or is there a way to make them work the same?

I looked in the forum but couldn't find explanation...
I'm using ZenCart 1.3.7, windows server (so .htaccess file won't work for me)

My page_not_found.php will not show up when trying to access a non existing product or path. I'm getting a standard default server 404 page like this one:
http://www.rid.org/666

In Admin Config I have in MY Store Missing Page Check set to Page Not Found and under Define Pages Missing Page set to "display text".

Page_Not_Found is editable in Define Pages Editor but will not show up in place of the default 404 page...

Please help me understand how it is supposed to work.

You'll have to talk to your hosting company for instructions on how to change the default behavior of the 404 page on your particular windows server.

You'll want to point it to something like one of the following:
http://www.MYSITE.COM/page_not_found.php
or
http://www.MYSITE.COM/index.php?main...page_not_found

Your hosting company should be able to tell you how to do it, or if they don't let you do it yourself, then they should be able to do it for you.
