I have not tired, but it should work in principle.

In the template.php file of your theme, add the following function:

function phptemplate_customerror($error_code = 404, $content = NULL) {
return _phptemplate_callback('customerror', array('error_code' => $error_code, 'content' => $content));
}

Then create a customerror.tpl.php and put in it what you want.

Not sure if it will do what you want, but worth a try.

What @kbahey mentioned in #2 in Drupal 6 would be:

function phptemplate_customerror($error_code = 404, $content = NULL) {
return theme_render_template('sites/all/themes/afd/customerror.tpl.php', array('error_code' => $error_code, 'content' => $content));
}

Hi,
I have just tried your function but doesn't work. What's wrong, any idea?

In

function phptemplate_customerror($error_code = 404, $content = NULL) {
return theme_render_template('sites/all/themes/afd/customerror.tpl.php', array('error_code' => $error_code, 'content' => $content));
}

You have to change the word "afd", for the name of your theme, and then place in your theme folder the file customerror.tpl.php with the template in the way you want you custom error to appear.

Better than hard coding the theme path, you can do:

<?php
function phptemplate_customerror($error_code = 404, $content = NULL) {
return theme_render_template(base_path() . path_to_theme() . '/customerror.tpl.php', array('error_code' => $error_code, 'content' => $content));
}
?>

The code will be more portable this way.

Even I create empty customerror.tpl.php file or leave only print $content line in the file all default page areas (header, content, footer) are still loaded.
So, I guess that this code doesn't help me to change the way 404 page will be displayed. Am I right?

Thanks for all answers.

No need to use CustomError to do this (although it'd be nice if it had support for it).

Set your error page to "404" under the "Error Reporting" textboxes.

In your template.php:

function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  if(arg(0) == '404'){
    $vars['template_file'] = 'page-404';
  }
}

Or, if you have CustomError enabled:

function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  if(arg(0) == 'customerror'){
    $vars['template_file'] = 'page-404';
  }
}
