Custom 404 Page

[venom1979]

How can I set a custom 404 page using the current theme? Is this possible?

totally 👍 nothing special should be needed here - Laravel looks for custom error pages within an errors folder, so you'll want to create errors/404.blade.php to create a custom 404 page.

Well considering that all of the theme files are hosted in their own folders (themes/ThemeName), and the errors folder must be included in the resources/views folder, that's not really the case. Meaning, if I switch themes, it will still default to the resources/views/errors/404.blade.php file, which does not change when I switch the current theme. I tried creating an errors folder within the theme folder and it still defaults to the resources/views/errors folder rather than the current theme.

I was able to get around this by using @include('errors.404) in the resources/errors/404.blade.php file, but this is more like a hack than anything else.

Hmm, I see what you mean. It does look like Laravel handles resolving these views a little differently than everything else. I'll have to look in to how to override/extend that here.

Re-opening 👍

Taken care of in v7.1.0 👍
