Purpose of Mod
This mod changes the thispagedoesnotexist.html for the getperson.php to a more friendly 404 page that might keep the user on your site by providing a link to the person search page.
You may want to consider using this mod if you use the Resequencing_IDs feature in TNG 7.0 to re-sequence People.
See the TNG Forum for the [TNG Forum https://tng.community/index.php?/forums/index.php?showtopic=2186 TNG 6.2 mod] version.
An alternative to using this mod is to provide a page for "thispagedoesnotexist.html" in the main area of your TNG site. The advantage is that it will cure the problem for any module to that has this problem, not just getperson.php.
