Creating a custom 404-Page / custom Error-Page in ConstructrCMS

If You are using ConstructrCMS, You are able to alter the Page-Alias of a Page in Your Page-Structure. For Example Your Page-Alias /contact/ for Your Contact-Page changes to /say-hi/. If You update Your Page-Alias to /say-hi/, and a Visitor tries to open Your old Page-Alias /contact/, he will get an Error:

"Page Not Found" - The requested URL /contact/ was not found on this server.

ConstructrCMS comes with the Abilities to use the beloved Apaches Mod_Rewrite-Modul. Means that every messy URL like http://YourDomain.tld/index.php?cat=home&article=23&language=de will be changed in somethinglike this: http://YourDomain.tld/home/23/de/. You can choose a desired Page Alias for all of Your Pages during Creating-Process or Editing-Mode at Your Page-Configuration.

For Example Your Contact-Page will look like this (Editing-Mode):

That means, if You try to open http://YourDomain.tld/contact/ You´ll see Your Contact-Page. You do not have to open the URL http://YourDomain.tld/index.php?show_page=contact. If You alter the Page-Alias of a Page the old URL is history and Your Visitor will see the 404-Error.
