Evilshy 5,090 October 3, 2011 #1 Share October 3, 2011 right now all it is is a 404 message if you try. there should be some kind of "opps, youre still a blank flank!" page with the cutie mark crusaders all frowning instead of just a 404 page. or maybe diamond tiara laughing at you > Signature now 99% less edgy!

Gummy 725 October 3, 2011 #4 Share October 3, 2011 It would be a neat little gimmick to have the 404 in pony font. PC Supremacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fillyshy 65 October 3, 2011 #6 Share October 3, 2011 Even though I really hate being a Blank Flank, and not being able to change my avatar, Feld0 said they might scrap the idea. So, if you want your avatar, just get to 10 posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any easy way to change the way that page looks, but it sounds like a cool idea to add some personality to it.

Evilshy 5,090 October 3, 2011 Author #9 Share October 3, 2011 im not sure what language youre using, or how the code looks, but i would think that whatever checks the post count to see if you can edit your profile is written in a way that would make it easy to throw in an "ELSE go to this page" sort of thing. but ive never coded for a webpage so i dont really know what im talking about :/ Signature now 99% less edgy!

IP.Board is built as a complex framework - it's not as simple as just saying "go to X page". What happens is that if you are still in the Blank Flanks group and you try to do something Blank Flanks cannot (e.g.: edit your profile), an error message will be sent into the IPB framework, which is then displayed using a generic error template. All I can easily change in there is the language bit that appears inside the error's red box on the page.

I don't know of any easy way to change the way that page looks, but it sounds like a cool idea to add some personality to it. I haven't actually seen the page in question (and know absolutely nothing about IP.Board from an administrative angle), but all you'd typically have to do to specify a custom error page would be to add the following line to .htaccess, unless IP.Board has its own way of handling all that. ErrorDocument 403 http://www.example.com/whatever.extension Changing the 403 to 404, 400, 500, etc would allow you to specify a different page for each error.
