Better looking database error screen

[Protoman]

I thought the database error screen was ugly so I decided to make something more visually appealing (not much!) than the original screen.

Step 1)
Upload the 2 gif's to your includes directory (you can move them wherever you want if you edit the code)

Step 2)
Update the below template so the images are their full URL paths
(ie.. http://site.com/forum/images/blah.gif)


Step 3)
replace the contents of includes/database_error_page.html with:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



There you have it! A better looking error message when things go wrong.
You can customize the images, error message, and colors to your liking.

[Allan]

lol great job :p ;)

[Andreas]

IMHO it doesn't make too much sense to use $vboptions[bbtitle] ;)

[Protoman]

:p I just left that in there because it was in my original file. I just wanted to get people thinking by releasing this. You're free to make up your own or whatever :)

[Protoman]

zip updated. make sure you use the full image paths on your forum or you will have broken images depending where the error is generated.

[Alien]

Hey. Thanks for this!

Installed, and unfortunately working. ;) lol...

/me walks off to fix something.

[buro9]

Love it, using it.

However... a question... your screenshot kinda shows that $vboptions aren't getting through to the end page. If the password was wrong or something daft like that, you wouldn't have $vboptions.

It's probably best to advise people to hardcode their forum info and email into that error page and not rely on something that you might not have... in fact probably won't have... it is an error page afterall ;)

Oh, and I remove $message from mine after accidentally leaking my database password to the web!

[Cyricx]

After recieving +100 error messages I thought about changing that page too.
A quick search came across this thread. Can't wait to install it.
I had no idea where that html page was.
Thanks.

[futuredood]

installed but how in the world do you test this?

[Protoman]

turn off mySQL via your console I suppose, that or make a PHP page that causes a mysql error

[Rickie3]

hahahahaha I love it suits me to a T my members call me sex fingers LOL

[PoetJA-1975]

installed but how in the world do you test this?

LOL - I was thinking the same thing - How in the HELL can I possibly test this without breaking something :P

At anyrate - hits install!

Thanx for the sharing!
