I tried to solve it by deleting this line from the 404handlers.config:

<notFound assembly="uComponents.Core" type="NotFoundHandlers.SearchForPageNotFound" />

But now I just get the - ugly - iis 404 file not found page.

Anyone any experience with the Multipage Not Found Handler extension from uComponents (v3).

Your help would be greatly appreciated,

Anthony

maybe if it can clarify things, my the content tree of my multilanguage website looks like this:

I defined the property with the umbracoPageNotFound alias for my homepage document type (Startpagina and Home)

My ~/config/404handlers.config file looks like this now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<NotFoundHandlers>

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForAlias" />

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate" />

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForProfile" />

  <notFound assembly="uComponents.Core" type="NotFoundHandlers.MultiSitePageNotFoundHandler" /> 

  <notFound assembly="InfoCaster.Umbraco._301UrlTracker" type="Handler301URLTracker" />    

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="handle404" />

</NotFoundHandlers>

Thanks for your help,

Anthony

I don't know by heart, but me thinks the uComponent not found handler needs hostnames assigned, eg www.domain.be and www.domain.fr. Does that apply to your situation? Also, can you check the trace and see what 404 handler is actually firing??

Looking forward to your info.

Cheers,

Hi Dirk,

Oh I see. I don't have separate domain names, my Dutch pages are under www.webmove.be/startpagina and my English pages are under www.webmove.be/home

What is the best practice for the names of multilingual domain names? I could make a subdomain like www.en.webmove.be

Thanks for your help,

Anthony

Still can't get the uComponents Multipage Not Found Handler to work.

Configured it for a multilanguage website (still in development):

http://testnl.vespasympa.be

http://testfr.vespasympa.be

Created a custom 404 page and made a connection to it from my multilanguage rootnode (umbracoPageNotFound property)

my 404handlers.config file looks like this:

<NotFoundHandlers>

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForAlias" />

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate" />

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForProfile" />

  <notFound assembly="uComponents.Core" type="NotFoundHandlers.MultiSitePageNotFoundHandler" />

  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="handle404" />

</NotFoundHandlers>

I also configured the hostnames for the multilangue rootnodes

I don't know what there is more to configure to get this uComponents Multipage Not Found handler to work.

Any help would be much appreciated

Anthony

Anthony,

Did you get this working? I'm in a similar situation (see http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/27573-Localised-404-pages-in-4711?p=0#comment103217)

Hi Phil,

No, I didn't get it to work, I solved it using the custom handler solution as suggested here:

add custom 404 handler in umbraco 4.7.0

or you could take a look at the source of the uBootStrap starter kit which also has a 404 solution for a multilanguage website.

greetings,

Anthony

Thanks; that solution, like the built-in code, seems to require unique hostnames/domains to work, and doesn't when using using multiple root nodes with 'fake' domains and multiple root nodes (eg /en/, /fr/, /de/).

The root of the problem seems to be that culture isn't set that early in the lifecycle, so everything just thinks it's mapping to the default 404 pages.

Phil

is working on a reply...
