This post shows how to customize your Django website’s 404 (not found) page.
If the resource doesn’t exist, Django displays the standard 404 page in production mode (DEBUG = False). Django invokes a specific view that is added to handle 404 failures when the Http404 exception is raised in a view. Django’s handler404 view by default is django.views.defaults.page not found (). If you added the template 404.html to your root template directory, this view either returns a “Not Found” message or a “Not Found” message instead.
Let’s create custom 404.html page and create function to server this template. First of all please ensure that you have DEBUG = FALSE in your setting.py.
Create 404.html page
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Page Not Found</title> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <div class="text-center"> <h1>404 Error</h1> <p>The requested resource was not found on this server</p> <a href="/" class="btn btn-info">Go back to home</a> </div> </div> </body> </html>
Create Url in url.py file
from django.urls import include, path
urlpatterns = [
path('', include('appAdmin.urls')),
]
# handling the 404 error
handler404 = 'appAdmin.views.error_404_view'Create view to render page
from django.conf import settings
from django.shortcuts import render,redirect
# Create your views here.
def error_404_view(request, exception):
return render(request, '404.html')All done it’s time to unknown url request and you get output will be like this.
That is it for today, hope it helps.
