I'm having no trouble displaying a 404 page when using {redirect="404"}, but is there any way to actually redirect to my 404 page? ie. changing the url to /404 ?

I've seen Ryan's blog post, but he uses PHP to do it. Should I just write a simple plugin to do that?

Update:
I've created a plugin for this behavior.

Sure. You just need to use the native redirect tag:

{redirect='site/404'}

That will redirect to the template_group/template specified. :)

  • Ah, thanks, but the headers on that page are '302 Found', not 404.

  • Technically this answers my question though.

  • Ah, interesting. Yes I guess it would never be a 404 if it redirects to a found page. You could always directly insert the header on the page: <?php $this->EE->output->set_header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); but I see you've already gone one better and wrapped this up into a handy plugin. :) Nicely done.
