MyBB Community Forums

Hey guys,

I was working on making my forums look better and my mysql crashed, but I saw that the error page doesn't look the best so I wanted to improve it as usual. I ran it on my test board to show, and here are the results.

Okay here is how to achieve this simple mod:

1. Download and place this file in your /images/ directory
Do not rename it: (Should be: error_bg.gif)

2. Make a modification to /inc/class_error.php
Go to line 475, it should be a CSS section that starts of h2...

Replace all of line 475 with:

		h2 { font-size: 12px; padding: 4px; background: #B60101; background-image: url('images/error_bg.gif'); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #fff; margin: 0; }

That's it and it looks really nice when you have an error which is unfortunate :p

I've actually been thinking of doing some customization to my error page and Admin CP ...

Thanks Brad That actually looks pretty nice

Oh, and if you guys want to include it with the next release of MyBB 1.4 then my copyright is released :p

That's really unnecessary. How often do you plan on seeing a fatal error?

That's not really the point though, if there is a error it should look inviting none the less.

That's easy enough :p

Well just saying I do a lot of tweaking of MyBB and this is one of the things I did, and again I would be thrilled if it got into the next release... and why not? You can beat IPB, they have crap error pages....

Fricken IPB... I hate their guts since 2.0 lol

Uhm, no, it shouldn't. Should the big LED screens on some highways, that indicate traffic incidents up ahead, have flowers and heart symbols next to the status report?

We won't be making error pages fancy.
