In the original Joomla 1.5.x 404 page not found file, I missed a search option. So I added the search form to the original. It is possible to redirect your 404 to a article in joomla, but the downside is: you have a searchable 404.
Create a file called error.php in your default template, like so: website_root/templates/own_template/error.php and paste the next code in to it.
Code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 | <?php /** * @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2008 Open Source Matters.
