Extended customized errors

[coolmann]

One feature I appreciated in 2.3.2 is the chance to have customized db errors, using the wp-content/db-error.php page. I'd like to point your attention on two issues:

• Why don't you move the db-error.php page inside the theme folder? So that theme developers can also distribute it inside one single folder
• What about customizing the wp_die function declared in functions.php? Currently I'm using an hacked version, in which I added this row

Included a custom error page, much better than the standard one!
And of course commented the one below
include($_SERVERDOCUMENT_ROOT?.'wp-content/themes/duechiacchiere/wp-die.php');

at row 1260, and removed the static HTML code included below that line. I know this is not the "best" way to do it, but maybe it's a beginning!

Have a happy new Year!

Replying to coolmann:

The problem is that when the database is down, there's no way to know which is the live theme, because that's something that's stored in the db.

I see, even if this information could be written in the wp-config.php

I guess it could be possible to allow a page within wp-content that can be loaded for errors.

ie.

if( error == db-down && file_exists( ABSPATH . WPCON . '/db-down.php') ){
   include(ABSPATH . WPCON . '/db-down.php');
} else if ( error == fatal && file_exists( ABSPATH . WPCON . '/wp-die.php') ){
   include( ABSPATH . WPCON . '/wp-die.php' );
} else {
   //normal wp-die stuff
}
