customise 404 error

eudesdeparis

i found
Editing file "‎/templates/ja_findus/error.php" in template "ja_findus".

Line 80 to 90
this lines are for the text
<div class="wrap-text">
<div class="error-msg"><h2><span><?php echo $this->error->getMessage(); ?></span></h2></div>
<div id="error-message">
<p><?php echo JText::_('JERROR_LAYOUT_PLEASE_TRY_ONE_OF_THE_FOLLOWING_PAGES'); ?></p>
</div>

*i think this one is for the button*
<div class=btn-home>
<a href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/index.php" title="<?php echo JText::('JERROR_LAYOUT_GO_TO_THE_HOME_PAGE'); ?>"><?php echo JText::('JERROR_LAYOUT_HOME_PAGE'); ?><span class="icon"></span></a>
</div>

but i want to customise the error 404
1-i want to put a .gif instead of the big "404"
2- i want to insert text with an email to warn me, if member found a 404 error

i think there is a better way like to put an article to 404, but i am new with joomlart 🙁

If you don't want the error code show there, you can edit this code:

<div class="error-code"><?php 
	$errcode = str_split($this->error->getCode());
	$i = 0;
	$lastclass='';
	foreach($errcode as $c){
                $firstclass = ($i==0)?'first':'';
		if($i==(count($errcode)-1)){
			$lastclass='last';
		}
		echo '<span class="'.$lastclass.$firstclass.'">'.$c.'</span>';
		$i++;
	}
	?>
</div>

and put your own content there 🙂
