Custom Error Pages
You can now create your own 404 (and 500) error pages.
- Selecting the error page to design
A 404 error is displayed whenever someone tries to go to a page that doesn't exist. This could be because they have tried to go to a page they have bookmarked or they have simply typed the path incorrectly in the address bar.
A 500 error is when something more serious has happened in the back-end that has prevented the site from working correctly.
With either of these errors you can now customise what you want displayed.
- Creating a 404 error page
There are plenty of examples out there on what you can do with error pages to make your site a little different from the rest.
Here is a link to some examples that can be found on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/search/pins/?q=404%20error&rs=typed&term_meta[]=404%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=error%7Ctyped
Front-End Checkout
We have started the un-enviable task of recreating the checkout process.
This is a bit of a beast with all the functionality it entails, plus the Stripe integration, but it is, a necessary part of the process.
- The front-end checkout page
Understandably, this has taken up the majority of the recent development time what with all the html, javascript and css files that have been re-written, but it is 95% there prior to testing.
Additional Updates/Bug Fixes
- Front End - enabling the front end to utilise custom error pages if present
- Front End - checkout complete page
- Front End - basket, checkout and checkout complete config files, allowing for potential future development of customising these on a site by site basis similar to other 'fixed' pages such as the contact page
