Theming 404

Permalink
I am attempting to apply my theme to my 404 page by adding the following to config/site_theme_paths.php

/$v->setThemeByPath('/page_not_found', "franks_pottery");


This should render the 404 using the view.php defined in my theme. The contents of this view.php file are:

<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
$this->inc('elements/header.php'); ?>
<div id="content">
  <?= $innerContent ?>
</div>
<?php  $this->inc('elements/footer.php'); ?>


The issue I am running into is that my header.php file crashes when trying to parse:

<?php
  $a = new Area('Header Nav');
  $a->setBlockLimit(1);
  $a->display($c);
?>


Turning the theme on for the login page works fine however.

The exception raised is:

Fatal error:  Call to a member function getCollectionID() on a non-object in /home/myuser/frankspottery.com/concrete/models/area.php on line 117


Anyone run into this and know a work around?

Am I really the only person to be in this boat?

error pages could be displayed as single_pages (system pages). so it'd be possible to set a theme for them. posted already to bugs.

i simply created a 404 error page in C5 and excluded it from the main navigation then added to the .htaccess file

ErrorDocument 404 /404error/

Salesman - did you get friendly URL to work with that setup?

The rewrite rules send all pages not found on the filesystem to the front controller: index.php. Apache would therefore never get to a 404 status. I may be missing something though...
