Customize your 404 page in only three steps

In this little tutorial i will explain how to customize your 404 Page in only three steps for templates released before March 2012 – For Joomla 2.5

To make this customization you need these three files – error.php – error.css – 404.png

Those three files can be downloaded from the ja_puresite quickstart files

1) Copy in your folder /templates/your_template_name/ the file error.php

2) Copy in your folder /templates/your_template_name/css/ the file error.css

3) Copy in your folder /templates/your_template_name/images/ the file “404.png” *

* You can use another customized image instead of this one

Hi 2009tas

The 404 code in the file error.php is managed by this line of code

[PHP]<div class=”bug-code”><?php echo $this->error->getCode(); ?></div>[/PHP]

to change the message you can simply change the line of code as you prefer.

Example :

[PHP]<div class=”bug-code”>Your Message </div>[/PHP]

The “Article not found” instead is managed in the same file by this line of code

[PHP]<div id=”errorboxheader”><?php echo $this->error->getMessage(); ?></div>[/PHP]

to change the message you can simply change the line of code as you prefer.

Example :

[PHP]<div id=”errorboxheader”>Your message for content not found</div>[/PHP]

I think you are referring to the Ja_Ores theme if is so the answer to your question is Yes you can customize the 404 page for the Ja_Ores for joomla 2.5 version.
