FriendsOfFlarum Custom HTML Error Pages

Masud

Cool ?

maniraj1234

@Sanguine can you add this extension?

clarkwinkelmann

maniraj1234 I have heard there's an extension freeze on Freeflarum until beta8 release.

This extension might be a bit less useful with beta8 given the new default error pages are improved (still not very customizable though)

Ralkage

clarkwinkelmann is it still useful now that beta 8 has been here for a hot minute? 😉

clarkwinkelmann

Ralkage I think it's for the users of the extension to say. The use case of adding a link to the homepage is now solved by Flarum, but it might still be useful to customize the error pages without Flarum knowledge.

If you're referring to a beta 8 update, the extension is already compatible since December (version 0.2.0), I just didn't mention it here since there were no new features and nobody had come begging for the update 😇

Trnrr

Sorry for posting, but is this compatible with beta 9? Im new to Flarum an dont want to mess anything up

Trnrr

all posts from extensions that do not contain "incompatible" tag work in beta9

ram0ng1 all posts from extensions that do not contain "incompatible" tag work in beta9

This might not be 100% accurate in this period that immediately follows beta 9 release.

Few extensions should break because there aren't many breaking changes. But moderators and extension developers haven't had the time to test all extensions on beta 9 themselves yet. In this period we rely on users reporting broken extensions to mark them as incompatible.

Trnrr I haven't tested the extension on beta 9 so I can't say for sure. As with any extension I'd suggest first installing it locally or on a test forum so see if/how it works before installing it on your production forum. And anyone who can confirm it working/not working is welcome to share it here!

clarkwinkelmann ram0ng1 Thank you guys for the information! I will setup a local forum and test it where once I have some time.

Is it working with beta 10?
I installed it without any issue but I'm not able to access to the configuration (I don't have the 3-dots menu on the extension on the extensions page).

clarkwinkelmann

I just tried and it's working fine for me on beta 11.

Either it's a caching issue, in which case you should clear the Flarum cache (command line or clear cache button on admin dashboard), and also maybe Cloudflare cache or similar if used.

If that's not it, then the 3-dots menu disappearance could be caused by any extension that has an issue. You could try disabling extensions one by one until the menu reappears in order to find the culprit.

There might be a javascript error message in the console of the browser development tools as well.

Thanks. This is a for/formatting extension issue. 😀

Tikey

I have installed the extension on 0.1.0-beta.11.1, set some text into the field in setting, and cleared the cache.
But I still get the default error text "The page you requested could not be found.".
Am I missing something?

Tikey

Because the Exception does not give me an errorcode, there is no lookup for any setting in the extension.

$errorCode = $exception->getCode();

$exception is \Flarum\Http\Exception\RouteNotFoundException
The value of $errorCode is 0

clarkwinkelmann

Tikey indeed, the error handling itself no longer worked, probably in beta 10 as well 🙉

I published a new version that uses the new Flarum error handling system. The extension was also moved to FriendsOfFlarum.

composer require fof/html-errors

Now the extension only works when debug mode is off.

Tikey

clarkwinkelmann
Thank you. After I removed
throw new Exception('Random error');
it is now working 😉

clarkwinkelmann

Tikey oops, I forgot to remove that. I pushed version 0.3.1 that fixes it.

clarkwinkelmann

Now compatible with beta 13.

The inner working of the extension have changed. Now instead of using a middleware that catches errors before the Flarum error formatter, the extension replaces the existing Flarum HTML error formatter.

From a user perspective, it should still work exactly the same.

clarkwinkelmann is it still useful now? beta 14

Time is flying .. everything is good for a better flarum

clarkwinkelmann

Hari it's planned to update all FoF extensions for beta 14. But this one might get lower priority given its lower usage.

I don't see the extension being any less useful in beta 14, the use case for it still exists.
