[Zope] standard_err_message ques... repost

[Howard Hansen]

You might also take a look at JRedirector, which sticks redirection code at
the top of standard_error_message to send you to the redirector.  It can
give you a pretty 404 message if needed, and redirect old urls to new paths.
Pretty slick product.  I like it.

JRedirector: http://www.dataflake.org/software/jredirector

Oh, and I'll note that you shouldn't follow the README.txt directions
exactly. In order for the needed dtml code to display in some browsers, Jens
put spaces between the less than sign and the dtml tag name.  The correct
code is:

    <dtml-if expr="error_type == 'NotFound'">
      <dtml-call expr="redirector_object.redirect( REQUEST )">
    </dtml-if>

I initially copied and pasted the code into standard_error_message.  That
misunderstanding cost me several dozen hair follicles and more time than my
pride allows me to admit!
