A Symfony Bundle with some Twig templates and blocks to create helpful, user friendly error pages.
First, follow the Symfony Documentation to learn how to create and preview custom error pages. Been there, done that? Fine!
Let's say your generic error page extends the base layout of MyWebsiteBundle. Then you may want to have your
error.html.twig to look something like this:
{# error.html.twig #}
{% extends '@MyWebsite/Layout/base.html.twig' %}
{% use '@WebfactoryExceptions/Exception/blocks.html.twig' %}
{% block myMainContentContainer %}
{{ block('webfactory_exceptions_standardExceptionPage') }}
{% endblock %}
The webfactory_exceptions_standardExceptionPage block has headings, the translated exception description and provides
the user with a list of alternatives what they can do next: get back (simulating a browser back), get to the homepage,
get to the contact page or google the domain. It may look like this:
A default block in the bundle provides a link to the homepage with the default target /. If your application does not
start at /, you need to set the variable homepageUrl.
Also, you may want to set the variable contactUrl to get a link to your contact page in the listed alternatives.
{# error.html.twig #}
{% extends '@MyWebsite/Layout/base.html.twig' %}
{% use '@WebfactoryExceptions/Exception/blocks.html.twig' %}
{% set homepageUrl = "https://www.webfactory.de" %}
{% set contactUrl = path('name_of_a_route') %}
{# your blocks and definitions... #}
If your base layout already features blocks you need to fill with exception specific content, you can do it this way:
{# error.html.twig #}
{% extends '@MyWebsite/Layout/base.html.twig' %}
{% use '@WebfactoryExceptions/Exception/blocks.html.twig' with
webfactory_exceptions_error_title as title,
webfactory_exceptions_error_headline as stage_headline
%}
This loads the webfactory_exceptions_error_title block directly into the title block of your base layout, as well
as the webfactory_exceptions_error_headline block into the stage_headline block.
Happy error-styling!
This bundle was started at webfactory GmbH, Bonn. It was inspired by the blog post How Symfony2 turns exceptions into error pages and how to customize those.
Previous releases of this bundle contained extra code that would help during development to preview your error pages. This code, however, could be merged into the Symfony core in Symfony 2.6, so we could finally remove it from this bundle. Read the announcement when you're interested in historic details.
