Hi django-developers! I have two things which bug me about custom 404's.
First: Why isn't there a setting to define a custom 404 template? In Python one of the principles is "explicit is better than implicit", a file put in a directory looks rather implicit to me, a setting defining the name of that file seems better. Also currently django doesn't allow you to be consistent in your naming conventions for templates. The designer in my team uses .htm extensions for templates and I started to use them as well. A 404.html file just looks out of place here. This shouldn't be too huge a task to do and I'd be very glad if it would find a place in 1.2. Second: The documentation on defining a custom 404 is in the tutorial, in part 3. In my opinion the task of defining custom error pages isn't something one worries about when learning a new framework, and that's what the tutorial should be there for. I don't mind it being in the tutorial, however it bugged be when I was looking for it outside the tutorial and didn't find it. I propose putting that information or at least a link to that information somewhere outside the tutorial. For example in the Request/Response documentation in the HttpResponseNotFound section. I'm sure you'll be able to find an ideal place for this. - Jonas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
