Purpose of Mod

This mod changes the thispagedoesnotexist.html for the showsource.php to a more friendly 404 page that might keep the user on your site by allowing the visitor to browse the sources for your site.

You may want to consider using this mod if you use the Resequencing_IDs feature in TNG 7.0 to re-sequence Sources, so that search engine links will not fail entirely.

See the TNG Forum entry for TNG 7.0 mod

3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the source_not_found.cfg.

Custom Text Additions

Note that the config file only includes the English language changes, so if you support multiple languages you will need to modify the config file to add the custom text for your other languages, or you need to manually add the custom text to your other language cust_text.php files.

See the English custom Text additions made to your English/cust_text.php file by this mod.

The language additions for French custom Text is shown below.

Note that the config file only includes the custom text for the English language, so you will need to add the other languages that your site supports. Also if you did not install the Message 404 - getperson Mod you will need to add the $text[sorry] to the config file.

Custom Text

English/cust_text.php

The following is added to the English/cust_text.php in TNG V7 and to the languages/English/cust_text.php and languages/English-UTF8/cust_text.php in TNG V8

// Added for Source Not Found message in showsource.php 404 error message
$text['source_sorry'] = "Sorry!";
$text['sourcepagemoved'] = "The page for the source you were looking for may have moved,";
$text['source_use'] = "Please use the ";
$text['tolocatesource'] = " feature to locate the source page.";

French/cust_text.php

For the French language, you would add the following to the French/cust_text.php in TNG V7 and to the languages/French/cust_text.php or languages/French-UFT8/cust_text.php in TNG V8

// Added for Source Not Found message in showsource.php 404 error message
$text[source_sorry] = "Désolé!";
$text[sourcepagemoved] = "La page pour la source que vous cherchez peut-être déplacée,";
$text[source_use] = "Veuillez employer la forme de ";
$text[tolocatesource] = " pour localiser la source.";

• Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
