Hi there,

I have a relatively new gallery 3 site at http://aroundsarasota.com .

I'd like to improve the existing 404 experience for visitors. I've changed a lot of albums around, and so this has become somewhat important.

Here's what you see now:
http://aroundsarasota.com/Island-Park-Bayfront-Park-Marina-Jack-Bayfront/

I found this forum post about this subject:
http://gallery.menalto.com/node/104681

However, following those instructions resulted in no change. I must be missing something. Any ideas?

What I'd like to see is a page that uses the existing theme/template with a list of text links to albums and a brief "oops" message.

Your advice is appreciated.

Thank you,
James

Did you edit the file and save it to the view directory of your theme?

I added some text and it works for me.

Thanks for your reply.

I sure did. I'm using the dark_canvas_wide theme. You can see the existence of the file here: http://www.aroundsarasota.com/themes/dark_canvas_wide/views/error_404.html.php

Never used that theme so don't know if it has a different method. Try with the default theme just to check that it works before we troubleshoot that theme.
