Joomla Custom 404 Pages

Great little tutorial over at phpRiot on how to set up an intelligent custom 404 error page in PHP. However, if you’re using a stock Joomla 1.5 install with mod_rewrite enabled (e.g. SEO-friendly URLs) then you can just forget about doing this with an Apache directive. Joomla has control (though looking at the .htaccess file I’m not sure why), so you’ll need an altogether different great little tutorial. Lo and behold, the Joomla documentation comes to the resuce!
