Hi Nicolas,

I regularly update my products - when I turn off the publish option, I would like the ability to customise the page that says "Product Not Found".

Am I able to completely change the look of this page to suit my website?

Thanks,
Jac

Hi,

Sure, you can do that in the file show of the view product via the menu Display->Views. It's at the beginning of the file:
<?php if(empty($this->element)){
$app =& JFactory::getApplication();
$app->enqueueMessage(JText::_('PRODUCT_NOT_FOUND'));
}else{

Thanks Nicolas, using this method can I actually change the page that appears.

I'm wanting to change the look and feel of the page more so than just the text.

Yes. You can just add your code in the if block.
for example, you could have:
<?php if(empty($this->element)){
$app =& JFactory::getApplication();
$app->enqueueMessage(JText::_('PRODUCT_NOT_FOUND'));
echo 'test';
}else{

which will display the text "test" on the page.

Hi Nicolas,

Instead of just inserting text here, can I create and reference a joomla article in this code - that way I can customise the look of the page that is displayed and add images when a product is not available anymore.

Thank you.

You should use that extension:
