Custom 404 Pages

Trongate has always made 404 pages dead simple. In v2 it's even cleaner.

The Single Source of Truth

Open this file →

And you'll find this line →

When a URL cannot be matched, Trongate automatically calls →

The above code simply loads this view →

It uses the exact same mechanism as admin() and public().

Three Ways to Customize Your 404 Pages

Option 1 – Quick & Easy (most common)

Just edit the existing file →

Make it friendly, funny, or brutally honest – your call.

Option 2 – Use a Different View in the templates Module

Add a new method to this file →

Create this view →

Then change the constant →

Option 3 – Point to Any Module/Method You Like

Want a completely custom 404 page with extra logic? Point the constant anywhere →

Trongate will automatically call that module and method.

Real-World Example (Simple & Clean)

Here's a tidy, beginner-friendly custom 404 that still feels professional →

Then, from within modules/errors/Errors.php:

You can, of course, make it as fancy as you like later – add logging, suggested pages, a search box – but the pattern is always the same: one constant, one method, one template.

Congratulations! You now know everything there is to know about templates in Trongate v2.

Go build something beautiful.
