# Grav Error Plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`error` is a [Grav](http://github.com/getgrav/grav) Plugin and allows to redirect errors to nice output pages.
|
|
|
|
This plugin is included in any package distributed that contains Grav. If you decide to clone Grav from GitHub you will most likely want to install this.
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
Installing the Error plugin can be done in one of two ways. Our GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the plugin with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.
|
|
|
|
## GPM Installation (Preferred)
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to install this plugin is via the [Grav Package Manager (GPM)](http://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/grav-gpm) through your system's Terminal (also called the command line). From the root of your Grav install type:
|
|
|
|
bin/gpm install error
|
|
|
|
This will install the Error plugin into your `/user/plugins` directory within Grav. Its files can be found under `/your/site/grav/user/plugins/error`.
|
|
|
|
## Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
To install this plugin, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under `/your/site/grav/user/plugins`. Then, rename the folder to `error`. You can find these files either on [GitHub](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-error) or via [GetGrav.org](http://getgrav.org/downloads/plugins#extras).
|
|
|
|
You should now have all the plugin files under
|
|
|
|
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/error
|
|
|
|
>> NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires [Grav](http://github.com/getgrav/grav), the [Problems](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-problems) plugin, and a theme to be installed in order to operate.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
The `error` plugin doesn't require any configuration. The moment you install it, it is ready to use.
|
|
|
|
Something you might want to do is to override the look and feel of the error page, and with Grav it is super easy.
|
|
|
|
### Template
|
|
|
|
Copy the template file [error.html.twig](templates/error.html.twig) into the `templates` folder of your custom theme and that is it.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/your/site/grav/user/themes/custom-theme/templates/error.html.twig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now edit the override and tweak it however you prefer.
|
|
|
|
### Page
|
|
|
|
Copy the page file [error.md](pages/error.md) into the `pages` folder of your user directory and that is it.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/your/site/grav/user/pages/error/error.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now edit the override and tweak it however you prefer.
|
|
|
|
# Custom error pages
|
|
|
|
The configuration allows to specify pages different than `/error` for specific error codes. By default, the `404` error leads to the `/error` page. If you change that, make sure the page you point to has a `error` template (which means, its markdown file is `error.md` or in the page frontmatter you specify `template: error`.
|
|
|
|
# CLI Usage
|
|
The `error` plugin comes with a CLI command that outputs the `grav.log` in a beautified way, with possibility of limiting the amount of errors displayed, as well as include the trace in the output.
|
|
|
|
### Commands
|
|
|
|
| `bin/plugin error log` | |
|
|
|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| [ --limit N \| -l N ] | The amount of errors to display. Default is 5 |
|
|
| [ --trace \| -t ] | When used, it will add the backtrace in the output of the error |
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Updating
|
|
|
|
As development for the Error plugin continues, new versions may become available that add additional features and functionality, improve compatibility with newer Grav releases, and generally provide a better user experience. Updating Error is easy, and can be done through Grav's GPM system, as well as manually.
|
|
|
|
## GPM Update (Preferred)
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to update this plugin is via the [Grav Package Manager (GPM)](http://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/grav-gpm). You can do this with this by navigating to the root directory of your Grav install using your system's Terminal (also called command line) and typing the following:
|
|
|
|
bin/gpm update error
|
|
|
|
This command will check your Grav install to see if your Error plugin is due for an update. If a newer release is found, you will be asked whether or not you wish to update. To continue, type `y` and hit enter. The plugin will automatically update and clear Grav's cache.
|
|
|
|
## Manual Update
|
|
|
|
Manually updating Error is pretty simple. Here is what you will need to do to get this done:
|
|
|
|
* Delete the `your/site/user/plugins/error` directory.
|
|
* Download the new version of the Error plugin from either [GitHub](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-error) or [GetGrav.org](http://getgrav.org/downloads/plugins#extras).
|
|
* Unzip the zip file in `your/site/user/plugins` and rename the resulting folder to `error`.
|
|
* Clear the Grav cache. The simplest way to do this is by going to the root Grav directory in terminal and typing `bin/grav clear-cache`.
|
|
|
|
> Note: Any changes you have made to any of the files listed under this directory will also be removed and replaced by the new set. Any files located elsewhere (for example a YAML settings file placed in `user/config/plugins`) will remain intact.
